Since it officially opened to the public on March 9th 2000, the London Eye has become as iconic a London landmark as Tower Bridge, Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London. All the London Eye tickets sold has made it the UK’s most popular paid for visitor attraction. Visit the London Eye and see the remarkable feat of design and engineering, it has given London’s skyline a dramatic new addition and has been offering guests a new perspective on London ever since.

Originally, it was intended as a temporary structure, able to be dismantled and transported to a new location, and had planning permission for just five years. But with millions boarding it every year, its popularity has prompted its lease to be extended. Today it is a permanent fixture on the London skyline and a beautiful symbol of modern London.

At 135m, The London Eye is the world’s largest cantilevered observation wheel with unrivalled views over London.

We had an amazing time on the London Eye during our 9-day stay in London. We absolutely loved it, especially our 7-year-old daughter, who couldn’t stop smiling! The line moved quickly, and once we were up, the view was completely worth it. The pods were very spacious. It was just us and another family of five in ours, but you could easily fit five families comfortably. It felt relaxed and not crowded at all. It was such a special experience to share with my now fiancé, my mother-in-law, and most of all our daughter. Truly a memorable highlight of our trip!

Definitely recommend getting tickets in advance and if you can do the champagne experience. The view from the eye are very nice and I feel it’s the best way to get a good ariel view. Their location staff we had on our champagne experience were 2 very friendly and informative young ladies. One of whom just started her job with the eye 5 days prior, but you couldn’t tell. Both were lovely hosts🤗 thank you again London Love 🇬🇧❤️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) – A classic London experience done right A really lovely experience from start to finish. We visited on a winter day, Friday in February half term and were incredibly lucky — we managed to catch a perfect 30-minute window of bright sunlight. Seeing London from that height, with the Thames winding below and the landmarks stretching into the distance, is genuinely special. It gives you a whole new perspective of the city. The queue was also absolutely fine. We waited no more than 10 minutes, so I’m very glad we didn’t bother with Fast Track. Honestly, when you’re on holiday, you should have 10 minutes to spare. One thing I would say: don’t feel pressured into buying the souvenir photos at the end. The quality was surprisingly poor and definitely not worth the price. Overall though, it’s a classic London attraction for a reason. If you get even halfway decent weather, it’s a fantastic experience and well worth doing at least once.

The London Eye is one of the most spectacular attractions in the city. Standing tall along the River Thames, it offers one of the best panoramic views of London’s skyline. The experience is smooth and relaxing. The glass capsules are spacious and comfortable, allowing you to fully enjoy the 360-degree views as you slowly rise above the city. From the top, you can see Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and even beyond on a clear day. The view at sunset is absolutely magical, with the golden light reflecting off the Thames and the city buildings. At night, the skyline becomes even more stunning with the city lights sparkling below. The organization is efficient, and the overall experience feels safe and well managed. It’s perfect for couples, families, or anyone wanting to see London from a completely different perspective. A must-do attraction when visiting London — iconic, scenic, and unforgettable. Highly recommended

At 100 meters tall, it doesn’t look that high from the ground, but you definitely feel it once you’re up there. I won a free ride one winter, and they even had ice sculptures near the queue, which was a nice touch. Getting on board is a bit of a hassle, though, and the rotation is very slow. That’s good for photos in theory, but the cabins—despite being large enough for about 15 people—get crowded, and you have to take turns at the windows. Because of that (and the not-so-clear glass), you miss quite a few photo opportunities. It ends up feeling like being on a high bus or train, with similar limits on what you can see and photograph. The thrill is fun at first, but it becomes a little dull halfway through. The best views are around a quarter past and a quarter to the hour—above that the view feels flat, and below that there isn’t enough to see. Ironically, you can get very similar views for free from nearby bridges, and you can see the Eye itself from there too. It’s a bit of a paradox: would you rather live in a mansion looking out at a council estate, or in a council estate looking at a mansion? I don’t envy the people waiting in line—they’re probably bored by the end. I’d give it four stars because it was free; if I had paid, probably three. Still, the Eye does look pretty cool, especially from Jubilee Bridge at night. And honestly, nighttime might be the best time to ride it too.
