7/6/26 We arrived early to check out waiting times and luggage storage as we were told you couldn't take bags. This is not the case, a very welcoming gentleman explained this to us and and after a brief conversation we were upgraded to almost immediate entry and for just £10 tickets for Sea Life, which we had 90 days to use. His customer service was first class. I recommend going early, we were there just before 11am and with the earlier entry we were ahead on our day by a full half hour. It's definitely one of thee to do things on your trip to London. Fantastic views of almost every landmark. Would recommend this to anyone.

My visit to the London Eye was fantastic! The service from the Headout team was impeccable, ensuring a smooth and quick entry that made everything stress-free. The panoramic view of London in the clear midday light was absolutely breathtaking and offered the perfect perspective of the city. The highlight for our family was sharing that moment together in the capsule; watching my children’s faces light up with excitement as they spotted famous landmarks like Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament from high above made it an unforgettable experience for all of us. Highly recommended!

This was a lovely calm cruise up to Greenwich and back that we thoroughly enjoyed. The commentary was informative and delivered with wit and sparkle. One word of warning for those travelling in wheelchairs. Not all boats are wheelchair accessible. We arrived for the noon boat and it was suggested we wait for the 12.30. They offered to give the noon boat a go, saying they could try to carry his chair over the steps, but we opted to wait for the later boat. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

I really loved the commentary. It was insightful and funny. The ticket did not make it clear but the captain explained well that you can get off and get on at any of the stops. So it's a great way to explore the city or you can just stay on the boat for the full round trip. I was able to get some great unobstructed photos.

I'm visiting from the USA with my two 16 year old sons. I had three surprises lined up for them and the London Eye was the first and it did not disappoint. It was spectacular with incredible views of London. My boys were beaming from the start to finish. We have many great photographs that we will cherish forever.

    There was a really long line outside beforehand, but we still got in quickly and smoothly. Once inside, everyone was very helpful. The musical itself was definitely worth it. Great actors and excellent music and singing. However, because some scenes took place a bit higher up, we couldn’t see everything clearly from our seats toward the back of the auditorium. We were looking up at the ceiling of the “balcony” above us. Still, we had a fantastic evening.

    The London Eye itself is a terrific experience. From high above, the views of the Thames, the Houses of Parliament, the Big Ben and various govt buildings as well as several bridges are absolutely brilliant! The only reaon I gave a 4 rating and not 5 is that the entry process takes too long. I had to wait at least 45 minutes before my turn came.
