The London Eye is a famous attraction in London that offers amazing views of the city. From the top, you can see landmarks like Big Ben and the River Thames. The ride is smooth and relaxing, and the cabins are modern and comfortable. It’s a great experience and a perfect way to admire London

It's great 👍🏻 I highly recommend the experience, you learn a lot about the history of this monument as well as the history of the crown in general. From the age of knights to various wars, both recent and distant, the immersion is total 👌🏼 And what can I say about the crown jewels? They are simply magnificent. 🤩 I highly recommend it.

Easy access with Headout tickets, the growing crowd made visit of the White Tower a bit difficult, but it was still ok.

The cruise and London Eye experience was absolutely amazing and memorable. A beautiful light breezy and partly sunny day made it ideal for walking, sightseeing and taking photos. It wasn't too crowded so it was easy to get to and from locations. Overall, I had an awesome experience and enjoyed every minute of it.

Did the London Pass for the first time and it was a breeze. Showed our tickets and walked right in. Didn’t have to worry about cash or collecting tickets at each spot. Would recommend.

Great way to see the main sights. The river cruise was especially pretty at sunset. Some attractions were busier than I expected but overall worth it.

Visitor tips

  • Avoid peak school slots like UK school holidays as they significantly increase weekday footfall. Term-time weekday mornings are the calmest overall.
  • Visit before noon for calmer galleries, especially during school holidays.
  • Entry is strictly slot-based, but arriving 5–10 minutes early allows faster check-in during quieter periods.
  • Most visitors begin on the ground floor. However, heading straight upstairs first gives you quieter galleries and clearer photo opportunities.
  • Don’t miss the Global Poster Gallery. It is often overlooked but one of the quietest spaces and ideal if the museum feels busy.
  • The children’s play zone gets busiest between 11am–3pm. Visiting after 4pm is noticeably calmer.
  • If you’re sightseeing over multiple days, combo tickets remove the need to re-book timed slots elsewhere.
  • Vehicles are best photographed from balcony viewpoints upstairs, where sightlines are wider and crowds thinner.
