London Eye

I needed something cheap and cheerful to do with my grandson while he was visiting from Manchester. The timed ticket meant we weren't stuck waiting for hours and the price was fair for a Saturday. The staff sorted out a mix up with our slot without any fuss. We got good photos of the river and it kept the lad happy for the whole morning.

Compared it with the river tour near Westminster and this came out cheaper for more time up high. Booking was quick on the site and the e-ticket was in my inbox before I'd finished my coffee. The pod was clean and the staff kept things moving.

The timed entry was well organised and the staff were most helpful with my walking stick. We were settled in our pod before I'd quite got my breath back, and the view of the Houses of Parliament was splendid.

We needed a proper daytime trip to show my parents the city on their first visit, and the timed slot made planning easy. The check in was quick and the pods were comfortable with good visibility. Took the kids too and they loved the ride.

Didn't expect the pods to be so steady, you barely feel it turning even when it's windy on the river. Had a chat with the operator at the top about the bridges and he knew his stuff. The queue to get on was a bit long for the timed slot I had, so I'd book a bit earlier next time.

Paid a bit extra for the fast track ticket to skip the main queue and it was worth it for the price. Booked through the website and the e-ticket landed in my email right away. Got straight on the next pod and the view over the river was clear.

Booking the family ticket online worked out cheaper than buying on the day and the slot was clear. Staff were helpful and the ride was smooth. Good value for a family of four.

Booked the standard pod for me and my boyfriend for his birthday and it was lovely. The staff were friendly and we got a good view of the Thames and the whole of central London as we went round. Would definitely do it again.

I would say this was a thoroughly pleasant experience from start to finish. The booking through the site was straightforward and the tickets arrived by email within minutes. Our capsule was clean and the crew were most attentive, so we didn't feel rushed at all.

Had my cousins visiting from Leeds and wanted something touristy that wasn't a museum. Booked online the night before and the ticket came through quickly. Ride was nice but the queue was a bit long.

We went for the standard tickets with the timed entry and I'd been to the Eye years ago so knew roughly what to expect. The pod itself was just as I remembered and the views were great. The only niggle was the queue for security was longer than the site suggested.

Honestly this was a great way to spend a Saturday with my husband and our two teenagers. The tickets were easy to book on the site and the entry was quick once we got to the pier. The staff were friendly and the pod was spacious enough for all four of us. Nobody got bored and the kids asked to go round again.

I looked at a few options for a day in London and went with the Eye because it was the most reasonably priced of the big views. Bought the standard ticket on the app and it was there in seconds. Ride was lovely and the pod felt really solid.

I've been on a few big wheels on holiday and this one beats them all for the view. The booking was simple and the price was in line with what I'd expect in the city. The crew explained the route and kept the pod nice and clean.

Compared it against the Shard and the Sky Garden and this came out cheaper for what you get. The booking page was easy enough and the tickets were in my inbox straight away. Pods were clean and the views did the job.

Got the 4pm slot on the app while waiting for the bus and it was actually really easy, the time I picked was still free. Staff at the entrance were quick and the pod was clean. Whole thing from booking to getting off took about an hour and a half, perfect for a Saturday.

I needed somewhere impressive to take a client from Dubai who was in London for a week. I've been up before so I knew the pods were comfortable and the views were clear. Booking the group slot on the site was painless and the team was helpful with the timings.

Went up the Eye instead of the Shard this time and honestly the Eye was quicker to get into, we were through the bag check and on the wheel in about twenty minutes. The pods are a bit squashed for four of us but the view over the river at sunset was lovely and nobody was rushing us off. Booked on the app the night before which saved faff at the desk.

I have been coming to the Eye since it first opened and it has never disappointed me. The booking process has become much easier over the years. Staff remain very courteous and the pods are kept spotless.

Bought the two tickets on the site and it was cheaper than buying at the gate. Went on a weekday so the slot was easy to get. Would go again.
