Get an eyeful riding the London Eye
Thinking of visiting the London Eye?
I can help you to maximize time and save money by doing things in the right order, at the right time, and on the right day.
The queue to the London Eye can be impressively long but it moves quite fast.
The average waiting time is about 20-30 minutes in the high season but can exceed half an hour on school holidays, long weekends, during the summer and on bank holidays.
There are actually 2 waiting lines: one to buy the ticket and another one for boarding.
It’s possible to skip the first line by buying your ticket online. In any case, if you purchase a standard ticket you’re expected to arrive half an hour before the boarding time to get your pre-booked ticket and pass the boarding line.
Among the available ticket options on the London Eye’s booking page you will find a fast-entry ticket (priority line) and flexible tickets, but, of course, they’ll cost you more.
