The London Eye is the largest cantilevered observation wheel in the world, with a diameter of 394 feet. It is however no longer the largest ferris wheel in the world. That is now Ain Dubai.

Designed by husband-and-wife duo of Julia Barfield and David Marks, it was originally planned to be temporary, but its popularity led to its permanent installation.

Each of the London Eye's 32 passenger capsules represents one of the boroughs of London. They are also climate-controlled, so no matter what the weather is like outside (even if it is a typical cold and rainy London day), you'll be cozy inside. 

The London Eye has been featured in numerous movies, including Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Scooters, skateboards, foldable bicycles, prams, buggys and tasers are also not allowed. 

The London Eye is open from 11am to 6pm most of the year. However, timings may vary according to the season. Please check the updated timings before booking your tickets.

The view from the top of the London Eye means you get a unique perspective on the city's architecture and appreciate the intricate details of its buildings - some old and regal, others modern and sleek. You can even spot London's iconic landmarks, including Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and the River Thames.

If you time your ride perfectly, then the change of the skyline from day to dusk to nightfall is stunning. The skies go from bright blue, light pink, flaming orange and then black in about 45 minutes. So hop on with 30 minutes to sunset left to see this magical sunset.

While at the London Eye you can enjoy a 4D cinema experience that showcases the history and evolution of London, using state-of-the-art technology to bring the city's rich heritage to life. Unfortunately, this is out of commission for a brief period.

Several bus routes serve the London Eye, including numbers 1, 12, 59, 68, 76, 77, 139, 148, 159, 168, 176, 188, 211, 243, 381, 507, and 521.

The nearest tube station is Waterloo, located approximately 5 minutes walking distance from the London Eye.

Just cross over Hungerford Bridge to get there.

Waterloo is also the closest rail station to the London Eye, with the same approximate 5-minute walking distance as the tube. You should take exit 6 for the South Bank and follow the signs to reach the London Eye​​. Charring Cross, across the Hungerford Bridge is another option.

Book ahead for skip-the-line access: Avoid long queues and save time by booking your London Eye tickets in advance. Skip-the-line tickets ensure a smooth entry, allowing you to maximize your time enjoying the stunning views. If you have kids, this is even more worth it!

London eye was brilliant 👏 Granddaughter was so excited 
Aquarium bit disappointing as no penguins 
But still a magical day

It was very easy and smooth on entry. Customer service was amazing and we were lucky with the sunny weather to enjoy the attractions!🥳

It was easy to get in to both venues and we were able to move the time slightly to get on the London Eye. It was a lovely day , to be a tourist.

Is was beautiful , the little train at the end also make it more exciting, is shame that Diana , Harry  and Megan  are separated from the family .. 

Nice and great experience and I recommend using headout is a best in savings

This was a wonderful experience! No other way to do the London eye in my opinion! no lines, less people on with you, and champagne!! definitely makes the experience much more worth it! Leon was a great host and all the staff made it very easy to find our way to go! DO NOT waste your time trying to wait in line for hours and do this experience! 

The champagne experience was worth the upgrade! We got to hang out in lounge while we waited for our guide, Jordyn. 
We had a small group, a great view and a champagne toast of course.  Jordyn was an excellent host, answering questions re landmarks in view, taking pictures and pouring the bubbly.
Highly recommend!

Arni was our guide for the London Eye Champagne Experience - he was the absolute best and made this expereience even better. He was friendly, funny, and professional. We were on board with 2 other couples which allowed us to easily walk around, see the sights, and take pictures. I would recommend arriving earlier to your resveration as they bring you to a private bar before hand with drinks/snacks for purchase. I wished we arrived a little earlier to enjoy this more. 

For those who want to experience something special in London and want to have a great view, this experience is definitely recommended. The view is breathtaking (I can highly recommend this tour in the evening --> you can see the whole of London illuminated in a wonderful sea of ​​lights) 
At the beginning you wait in a lounge where you are then picked up, which is particularly useful in the cold months. 
Our guide Holly-Grace made the evening really sweet for us with her warm and loving manner. From the very first moment we felt comfortable and in good hands with her. 
She took photos of everyone and gave us lots of tips and information about London. 
A little side note: if you finish your glass of champagne quickly, you can buy another one on board
The trip takes 30 minutes. Unfortunately, it feels much shorter because of all the impressions. For us, however, it was a wonderful end to our London trip.

Holy Grace was excellent! Very knowledgeable and energetic. Very much enjoyed the champagne experience with her as our host.

Sea life was amazing. London eye broke when we were high up and we were there for over 30 minutes until it was fixed. When you have a small child it's not very convenient.

We thought we would have seen more of Paddington and disappointed that our granddaughter wasn't allowed to interact with him. Also we have no pictures of the event as phones pictures were not allowed and we lost the only official picture we had, somewhere in London. We now have nothing to remember the experience 😞
