About this event
London Eye Tickets
Standing 135 metres above the South Bank, the London Eye offers unbeatable 360-degree views of London from its slowly rotating glass capsules. Each 30-minute rotation gives you plenty of time to spot Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, St Paul's Cathedral, and The Shard stretching across the capital's skyline. The wheel moves so smoothly that you can walk around freely inside your climate-controlled capsule, taking photos from every angle.
Since opening in 2000, the London Eye has become one of London's most popular attractions, welcoming over 3.5 million visitors annually. The 32 sealed glass capsules each represent a London borough and hold up to 25 people, though you'll share with other visitors on standard tickets. On clear days, you can see up to 40 kilometres in every direction, making it particularly spectacular at sunset when the city lights begin to twinkle below.
Highlights
- Panoramic views of Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, and Westminster Abbey directly below
- Views stretching to St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, and The Shard to the east
- Sightlines west to Buckingham Palace and the green expanse of Hyde Park
- Thames views with boats and bridges creating a living map beneath you
- Climate-controlled glass capsules with room to move around and take photos
- Sunset and evening rotations showing London's illuminated skyline
