Best time to visit the London Eye

Weekday vs Weekend

  • Weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends. Weekdays are a better option for a relaxed experience with fewer crowds.
  • However, the weekend might be a good choice if you don't mind the crowds and want a more vibrant experience.
  • Mornings and evenings are less crowded than in the afternoon. Consider booking a ticket for early morning or late evening for a quieter experience.
