Reviews for London Eye

Great tourist place and definitely a Must at least once. Can also rent out a capsule just for yourself (and friends). Unusual place to propose;)
Have fun :)

Fascinating even on a rainy day.

Great location, near Waterloo station and on the riverside.
Long queues on Sunday evening.
Plenty of other things to do nearby. Festival hall. buskers.
If you don't go on it, you can still enjoy looking at it and taking photos of it.

great location for shoots
love all at the light studios

The london eye is set on the side of the thames, in westminster, right by the aquarium.
If you have a spare 30 mins then forget it, even though it only takes about that to go round once it takes much longer to get on in the first place.
The pods are see through and so you do get the best views from them, once you get used to the open feel of it all. They do pack you in though so do not think you will get a pod to your self coz you need to pay more for that.
Later in the day the sky will be wonderful and the softer light makes it easier for you to see without straining your eyes.
It is reasonable enough in terms of price and nice to say that you have been on and seen london from a different view point

The london eye, a giant wheel that takes you on a thirty minute high rise tour of the sights of the beautiful london sky line, is great. You can book in advance and also pick up deals to include other attractions to make more of a day out. The london aquarium is very close so that would be a good place to combine you trip with. The pods do not stop to let you on but move slowly enough to let you get on with no problems. If there are lots of you, you may be lucky and get a whole pod to your self as we did, which was nice. The que is always quite long so do bear this in mind when planning visiting times, etc.

The London Eye is definitely a great experience. The views are really good on a clear day and although I went in the middle of the day, I think it would be even better in the evening at sunset or at night. It's really easy to find and is easy to get into, although your bags will be searched before you can get on. Its kind of expensive but if you are a tourist you tend to pay for these things anyway, right? Obviously you have to get on and off while its moving but don't worry, it doesn't go very fast, which means you get plenty of time to look around from the top, and I think they stop it if someone has a disability and needs it to stop before they can get on and off. You really can see a lot of the city from the top, and the views are worth the cost.

We went in the summer holidays and it was one of the few non rainy days! The weather was perfect for seeing all the sights and we bought the small book that points out all the places of interest and took lots of photos! We arrived at around 10am on a Monday in the school holidays and walked straight on as we have Merlin passes so no queuing for tickets!

we have recently visited london eye place and it was a very nice place to see ,where you can get good fun and good scenetic spot.there would be a better deals availabe ,if you could book tickets thru online and the main advantage is, if any one book their tickets thru online then no need to statnd in the long ques.one can collect straight at kisoks,

good luck
