About London Eye

Imagine being whisked 443 feet into the sky in a giant glass pod, London sprawled out beneath you like a map. That's the London Eye, not your average carnival Ferris wheel. This iconic landmark isn't just about the view (although seeing Big Ben and Buckingham Palace from that height is pretty epic). Inside each pod, interactive touchscreens tell you all about the sights whizzing by. 

Feeling fancy? Book a private pod with champagne and soak in the panorama in style. There's even a 4D cinema experience that takes you on a whirlwind tour of London's history. Plus, the South Bank location lets you grab fish and chips and stroll along the Thames. So, next time you're in London, treat yourself to a ride on this giant, unforgettable wheel.

Tips when Visiting the London Eye

Ready to soar above London in a giant glass bubble? The London Eye's calling, but before you blast off, here are some tips to make your trip smoother:

1. All About the Tickets

If you have a Standard Entry ticket, proceed to Entrance A at your designated time. No need to hurry—instead, relax and enjoy the line, which hopefully won't be too long!

For those with a Fast Track VIP ticket, head over to Entrance F at your convenience. Here, you can bypass the queues and quickly reach high pod altitudes. Consider taking a screenshot or adding them to your phone's wallet for E-tickets. Trust us, you won't want a poor signal to spoil your experience when you're already sky-high.

2. Visiting with Group

Planning on bringing a group? Ensure to arrive 15 minutes early at both the Eye and the River Cruise for a smooth boarding process and no one left behind. Please remember: it's crucial to have everyone present before lining up. Nobody wants to be the reason for the pod leaving without them!

3. Bonus Tips

Plan your visit by checking the website for operating hours, which vary with the seasons. If you want to evade the crowds, aim for early mornings or evenings, especially during weekends and holidays.

Don't forget to pack light, as large bags and backpacks aren't allowed in the pods. Lastly, dress appropriately for the weather. It can get pretty chilly up there, so layer up if needed.
