What travelers are saying
- Sally O24 contributionsThe London eye has a beautiful view, they do not overcrowd the gondolas, plenty of space to move around and take pictures. The lights along the river at night are beautiful.Written December 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Saff A1 contributionThe climb seemed daunting at first but was definitely worth it for the incredible view of London. Our guide Johnny was amazing; friendly, chatty and enthusiastic throughout the whole climb, and was always checking in on each of us. He was also very knowledgeable about the sights of London at the top of the O2, and took many photos for us which was an added bonus. Thank you Johnny!Written November 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JTNB2014Shropshire, UK98 contributionsWow we went mid week at 2pm end of November had no queues went straight to desk and paid same price as online. Got in the lift and very quickly we were at the viewing point. Wow what a view? Fantastic. We purchased drinks at the bar and we were lucky enough to get a stool each. We sat and just simply watched the city below it was wonderful. We loved it that much we stayed until the sun went down and all the lights of London were twinkling everywhere. I’m not saying anymore because I don’t want to spoil it for you. Well worth visiting and definitely worth spending a penny 🤣.

- ManicroseBourne, UK1,182 contributionsIt’s a long climb to the top, definitely not one for anyone with health issues. The views from the top are good and it’s cheaper than similar attractions such as the Shard.Written November 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HolidaymakerfromHoveBrighton and Hove, UK1,582 contributionsImpressive structure that we passed during the evening on our way from Westfield to the ABBA Voyage show. Well lit and imposing. We did not go inside.
Part of the London 2012 Olympic Village. Much bigger than I thought it was.
Recommended when in the area.Written November 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Although we didn't get to see the views we expected, we did get some very mystical looking views as the mist came & went. The Shard poking through the cloud was extremely impressive. Simon who works on the floor was very interesting & knowledgable, and more than happy to answer any questions people had. He obviously loves his job, and it shows.
We live in London & so will definitely be back on a clearer day to see the views properly.Written December 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I think some training is needed! However, despite that, we really enjoyed the experience…the best bit was popping out the top of the chimney…..whoaaaa it was a bit scary but thrilling at the same time. Fab views over London, superb!Written November 28, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- charltonchick16 contributionsWe popped in after going down the tube slide and then booked a couple of tables for our friends after going to Abba a couple of days later. I'm a coeliac and need strictly gluten free food. I wasn't hopeful at first but they indicated that I could have a gluten free bagel with mushrooms, onions, avocado and egg and it was delicious, and safe. The drinks were great and all our friends were very pleased with it all - it was such a find after the huge chaos of the Abba foyer and only a stone's throw away.Written November 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- adehutBromley, UK58 contributionsGroupon afternoon tea offer - went early as suspected it would get busy - which it did so it was more like lunch. Started with a glass of bubbly, a couple of sarnies , cakes and scones. Great views near the entry point and overall good value for money.Written February 11, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Julia @Scrumptious SolentSouthampton, UK2,319 contributionsIt was a foggy December day when we visited sadly but still an impressive view - and it’s free so what’s not to love?
Tickets released every Monday morning so just make sure you register for your free tickets. We got there an hour early (it was raining!) and they still let us in.
Plenty of space at the top as they only let a few people in during each slot. There’s a toilet (disabled) at the top but no other facilities (just a few chairs).Written December 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The best views are from the highest levels which comprise the Members’ Room and the restaurant.
Since the Blavatnik Building (known as The Ziggurat due to its unusual shape) was completed several years ago there have also been wonderful views from its Level 10, although at the time of writing there is sadly no access currently above Level 4.Written May 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Again you also get great pictures from the outer ring.Written May 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
