London Eye Days Out
Below we have listed London Eye Days Out Tours and Attraction Tickets.
The Basics
A 30-minute ride in one of the 32 glass capsules offers panoramic views, so travelers can spot London highlights such as St Paul’s Cathedral and Buckingham Palace from every angle. One rotation takes 30 minutes, with the structure rotating at a fairly slow speed, meaning visitors are free to walk about their capsule and take photos from all sides.
With more than 3.5 million annual visitors, lines for the London Eye’s capsules can get quite long. Pre-booking a fast-track ticket is the best way to maximize your time in England’s capital. Travelers with a penchant for luxury can opt to sip champagne while they ride. Many tours combine a rotation on the wheel with other popular London activities such as afternoon tea, a Thames River cruise, a hop-on, hop-off bus tour, or a city tour that covers top sites, including the Tower of London and London Dungeon.
Things to Know Before You Go
- Take a spin on the London Eye at the start of your London vacation to orient yourself and grasp the layout of the capital city’s seemingly endless sprawl.
- On a clear day, it may be possible to spy Windsor Castle on the horizon from one of the capsules.
- If gray skies threaten rain, nearby indoor activities abound: the SEA LIFE London Aquarium, the BFI IMAX cinema, Madame Tussauds London, and Shrek’s Adventure ensure kids and adults stay entertained during a storm.
