London
The London Eye Entrance Tickets
See London from a New Perspective
Floating high above the River Thames, the London Eye offers one of the most iconic views in the city, and quite possibly the best. Standing at 135 metres tall, this giant observation wheel gives you a peaceful, panoramic ride over London’s skyline, offering 360° views as far as 40 kilometres on a clear day (yes, that’s all the way to Windsor Castle).
It’s more than just a photo op, it’s a moment of calm and wonder above one of the world’s busiest cities.
What You’ll See from the Top
Each capsule is designed for optimal viewing, with glass walls and plenty of space to move around. As you ascend, you’ll be able to spot some of the city’s most beloved landmarks, including:
Big Ben & the Houses of Parliament
Buckingham Palace
St Paul’s Cathedral
The Shard
Tower Bridge
Westminster Abbey
Trafalgar Square
On a sunny day, keep your eyes peeled for a glimpse of Windsor Castle in the distance.
What to Expect
Your experience begins on the vibrant South Bank, just a short walk from Waterloo Station. After a quick security check, you’ll board one of the 32 futuristic glass capsules. The full rotation takes about 30 minutes, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the views, snap photos, and just take it all in.
The ride is smooth, slow-moving, and suitable for all ages, making it a great choice for families, couples, and solo travellers alike.
