London Eye

The London Eye is hands-down one of the coolest ways to see the city from up high. It’s a total must-do if you’re in London, offering insane panoramic views of landmarks like Big Ben, the Shard, and the snaking River Thames. Yeah, the lines can be a slog—sometimes you’re waiting ages—but trust me, the experience is worth every minute. Pro tip: book your tickets in advance at the kiosks nearby to skip some of the hassle. It’s not cheap, but the view from 135 meters up is unreal, especially if you catch it at sunset when the city lights start twinkling.We went for the photo package, and it was a solid choice—decent quality and a fun keepsake. Oh, and here’s something handy: each pod has a specific spot marked for photos if you’re using an outside camera, so you can get that perfect shot without random heads in the way. The ride itself is smooth, about 30 minutes, and the pods are spacious enough to move around. Just don’t expect to rush through; it’s a slow, steady spin to soak in the views. If crowds aren’t your thing, maybe aim for an early morning slot. Totally recommend it for that bucket-list London moment!

Lovely attraction in a lovely area, lots of lovely quirky cafes in the area and the jubilee Gardens are gorgeous. Very quick to access the attraction even without fast track tickets. Full inspections/bag inspections before entering. I was asked if I was carrying any knives, which took me a little by surprise but the staff we all nice. Took my own binoculars as they were £6 to purchase. Great views, but I think it would be nice to have some background music or something on the way round.

Riding the London Eye was such a memorable experience! It gave me the most incredible views of the city — from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament to the Thames and beyond. The whole ride felt smooth and peaceful, and the pace was just right to soak in all the sights and snap lots of great photos. As someone visiting London for the first time, this was the perfect way to get a feel for the city from above. The staff were helpful and organized, and the capsule felt safe and comfortable the entire time. If you want a beautiful, panoramic view of London — especially on a clear day — this is absolutely worth doing! A must for first-timers like me.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Riding the London Eye was an unforgettable highlight of my trip to London. The entire experience—from the smooth boarding process to the stunning 360-degree views—was seamless and breathtaking. We booked our tickets online, which was easy and saved us time at the entrance. Opting for the Fast Track ticket was definitely worth it as it allowed us to skip the longer queues, especially since it was a busy weekend. Once inside the glass capsule, the slow and smooth rotation gave us plenty of time to soak in the sights. From the top, we had incredible views of Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral, The Shard, and even glimpses beyond London on the clear day we visited. The photo opportunities were endless. The capsules were clean, spacious, and air-conditioned, with helpful touchscreen guides to point out key landmarks. The staff were professional and welcoming throughout the entire visit. Whether it’s your first time in London or a return visit, the London Eye is a must-do attraction. It’s peaceful, iconic, and offers a totally unique perspective of the city.

A Must Do in London!!! The London Eye was absolutely amazing! The views from the top are unreal, you can see all the big landmarks like Big Ben, the River Thames, Tower Bridge, and more. It moves slowly and smoothly, so you get plenty of time to take it all in and snap great photos. The whole experience feels calm and peaceful, even though you’re high above the city. It’s super well organized and the staff was really friendly. Whether it’s your first time in London or not, this is one of those things that’s 100% worth doing. I’d definitely go again especially around sunset!
