I have been on the London Eye before and took both of my children this time however I would strongly recommend that you do not try to go on the London Eye during school half term. We queued for over an hour before getting on. There did not seem to be any advantage in booking online in advance - you... more

We went on the London Eye on Monday the 26th of October, the first day of the half term school holidays, around 10:30am. I had booked the tickets via the intertubes a couple of days before. On arrival the queues were maybe 100yds long and looked daunting but they moved very swiftly and it was probably only 10 minutes before... more

The London Eye is good if you want a few good travel pictures of you on the eye, but the price is way too high for me to recommend it. Right near the end of the ride they take a picture of each whole side of the capsule which you can buy at the end for another 10 GBP, but... more

Fun!

Riding the London Eye is a bit touristy, but it is FUN! The view is great depending of weather of course and the line is long. Be prepared to submit to an light "airport security screening". more

When I went to London I did a bus tour, which I highly recommend. With the bus tour it takes you to all the big sights and they have several different stops where you are able to get off the bus and explore and later get back on. One of the places I got off was at the London Eye,... more

I paid for the London Eye Combo with Thames Cruise. I enjoyed both, the que was minimal and the views amazing. I am not into other combos offered, but as a sightseeing event, I would recomend to anyone. I traveled alone,and chose to stay off tour busses, opting instead for a 3 day bus pass and stopped at all sight... more

While visiting London UK, I had the chance to experience the Millenium Wheel. Incredible views and worth the money at least once. Although a bit expensive for 30minutes of your time, the views are incredible and well worth the investment more

We did the eye and thought afterwards, what a waste of money. It did give aperspective of the city but was a long line, expensive for a ride that was not thrilling. Skip it! more
