London Eye
Best time to visit
Early morning or late afternoon for shorter queues and softer light; sunset offers dramatic colours but expect heavier crowds. Winter weekdays have lower visitor numbers and clearer air on cold days.
Budget tips
Standard single-ride tickets vary by date, often lower when bought online in advance; family and off-peak discounts are common. Consider the Merlin Annual Pass or combo tickets with a Thames cruise to save money.

About
Faits rapides: Offering unparalleled panoramic views, each capsule boasts floor-to-ceiling glass panels that allow a breathtaking 40-kilometer sightline on clear days. The structure gently rotates at a speed that lets passengers enjoy a complete revolution in about 30 minutes, making it a relaxing way to see the city's iconic skyline.
Points forts: Every glass capsule has its own unique pattern of thermal glass designed to keep it cool in summer and warm in winter, making the ride feel cozy regardless of the weather outside. The slow revolution takes about 30 minutes, allowing you to spot details like the tiny rowing boats on the Thames and the spires of Westminster, all while sipping on champagne available during certain nighttime rotations.
Insider tips
- Prebook a timed slot and aim for the first rotation after opening to avoid long queues.
- For classic photos of the Eye with Big Ben, shoot from Westminster Bridge or Jubilee Gardens, and use a wide-angle lens at night for city lights.
- Board early in the rotation and move around the capsule for uninterrupted views, crowding peaks midway through.
- Access is wheelchair friendly but arrive 20 minutes early if you need assistance or special boarding.
