For a first-time visitor to the city I thought this experience was valuable just to familiarize myself with the surrounding neighborhoods which one can do with ease during the course of a guided tour on one of the capsules. I bought my ticket on the internet in the U.S. before traveling and had no problems accessing the queue at my... more

The best thing to do is book online for the tickets because the queue to buy the tickets itself is massive! Then after that you will need to queue up to get on the wheel. It does take time but gradually you will find yourself stepping into one of the pods. The views are great, you can literally see everything,... more

We spent a beautiful Thursday fall morning on the London Eye - the views were spectacular and went for miles. There were only 4 of us in total in our capsule - we purchased fast track tickets - and it was amazing. I can't imagine being in London and NOT going on this. more

Went on the London Eye in September, 2008. There is a fee (which is not included on the London Pass card if you purchase it). I found it very worthwhile. Gave excellent views of the city. You are able to take photos through the glass and mine turned out very well. The only spots where photos don't work are the... more

An expensive waste of time. If you don't book in advance you're likely to meet long queues. Sure, it's interesting for the few minutes that you are at the apex but for the tens minutes going up and ten minutes going down again, it's pretty dull. The view from the Dome of St Paul's are breath-taking and cheaper, although you... more

the london eye is a must do when you go to london. you will get the best views of london in all directions. even if you a little afraid of heights you feel safe inside one of the pods with 20 or so other people. the line moves reasonably quickly so not so bad. but it is worth the wait. more
