One of the most exciting things about being in the capital is the London Eye excursion. It's fun to see the city from so high above and on the Thames. Takes about 30 min for a go around and the best part is you don't feel sick afterwards. You barely feel you're moving. more

If you do one touristy thing in London, take the 30 minute spin in the London Eye. It's hard to predict the weather, so don't bother booking online. I go there before the ticket counter opened at 9:30am and was on the second capsule right at 10:00am. It seems a little pricey, but definitely worth it. The Eye is a... more

We had mixed feelings about spending the money on this attraction (family of 5). I am glad we did. Our kids loved it and the views at sunset were spectacular. more

After being to London 3 times I decided I best do the eye to see what all the hype was about. I decided since it was a cold day it may be worth paying the extra $ to go in the reserved que. Only to find out it meshes into the other que and you have to wait almost as... more

This was my second "flight" on The Eye. I went on it back in 2001. I have to say that I liked my first flight a LOT better. Back then, they had a guide in each pod who pointed out the various sights throughout the flight. This time they had things you could rent, but who wants to do that.... more

If the day is sunny, plan a trip on the London Eye. It's close to the Waterloo tube station. The views are wonderful: Buckingham Palace, Westminster, Big Ben, Parliament, the Thames River. more

As we were visiting London in November we paid careful attention to the weather and picked the clearest day in our stay to do the London Eye. We arrived around 11:00 am and didn't have to wait for tickets or to board. Our "pod" was not full which allowed us to walk freely and really enjoy the views. The ride... more

We went on this as soon as we arrived in London. Did the 4D experience thing first which was a decent demo of 3d technology- but was over very quickly. For the ride itself we were lucky enough just to be able to walk right on without a wait. Found the staff checking the bags excellent, real chatty London characters.... more
