We rode it on 2 July 09 and decided to pay the extra for a fastpass,which in hindsight was worth it as it was a very hot day and the 'normal' queue was very long and by the time we had been on the ride that queue had not moved all that much. But I do think it depends on... more

my daughter and I visited london a couple of weeks ago and decided to visit the London Eye, the system for going onto the eye was very well organised after picking up tickets across the walkway to entering one of the pods was very quick. I must admit it was not as busy as I would imagine it would be... more

Great views of the city from this amazing structure. Sure, it's a bit costly, but so is everything in London and this is well worth it. We went in June, when it would typically be corded, but we were on within 10 minutes, so don;t bother with paying extra for the "fast-pass" tickets or whatever they call them. more

Nice view, but way overpriced. If you don't have the ££, but have the leg power, the view from the top of St Paul's - which is quite a trek up MANY stairs - is really just as spectacular (except you can't see into the gardens of Buckingham Palace from there!) more

A great place to see London skyline in short time. Nice views of Thames river, museums and other London landmarks. Ticket lines tend to be long, price could have been cheaper. more

You do get a nice view of Parliament, but London is not a city with a dramatic skyline like New York. You can kind of see Buckingham and St. Paul's, but again there's just not that many dramatic buildings to make the high view that spectacular. It's just one of those things that everybody does when they go to London.... more

We had an amazingly clear day so we thought we would hop on the Eye. By hop i do mean wait in line for about an hour. The line looks a lot longer than it actually takes, it move pretty fast. The ride takes about 15-20 minutes with panoramic views of all of London. Most of the main attractions are... more

Great view

The eye closes at 9 PM and my wife and I rode on it at 8:59. We were in the last car of the night and it was the best way to go on this ride. There were only 8 people in our car and we could watch as the sun set over the city. The views are great. more

Amazing!

This is one awesome experience. The best views of London any time of the day, although I would suggest doing it on a day with good weather, cause I can't imagine it would be as good on a rainy day. It's a little pricey but in my opinion worth it. A must do if you visit London! more
