Plan your visit to the London Eye

Tips for visiting the London Eye

  • Book your preferred time slot at least 2–3 weeks in advance if you're visiting during summer, weekends, or school holidays. Fast Track and Champagne Experience tickets tend to sell out first.
  • Arrive 15–30 minutes before your booked timeslot. Security screening is mandatory for all visitors and can add to your overall visit time.
  • For the clearest views, choose a midday slot when the sun is highest, or visit around sunset if you don't mind larger crowds.
  • Keep your camera ready throughout the 30-minute rotation. Landmarks such as Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, St Paul's Cathedral, and The Shard appear from different angles as the capsule moves.
  • If you're planning to see more of London, a combo ticket with a Thames River Cruise, hop-on hop-off bus tour, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, Madame Tussauds, or SEA LIFE London Aquarium offers better value than booking separately.
  • The capsules are fully enclosed and climate-controlled, so the experience runs comfortably in almost all weather conditions.
