Didn't realise the lift up was so smooth and quiet, you barely notice you're going up at all. We went in the early afternoon with my two kids and they loved spotting the landmarks, the staff were patient with the little one and let us stay at the window longer than the queue would normally allow. Tickets were easy to get on the site and we got through the entrance without much waiting.
Read moreI did think the view would match the London Eye, which I had been up before, but it was a good deal smaller and the sightlines were a bit blocked by the glass. The staff were very polite and the lift was clean, though I did find the booking page rather fiddly to navigate.
Read moreI took the audio guide with my ticket, which I thought was a sensible extra for a first visit. It explained the buildings below clearly and the headset worked from the start. The one thing I would mention is that the seating area was rather cramped when the deck was busy, though I did manage to find a spot near the window in the end.
Read moreI had to book the tickets online for a group of six and the process took rather longer than I would have liked, with the payment page timing out twice. Once I had the confirmation the staff at the entrance were very courteous and the lift ride was smooth. Still, the booking part did leave me rather exasperated.
Thought the price was on the high side for what you get, given the short time you spend up there. The staff were polite and the lift was comfortable enough, though I had hoped for a bit more to see. It was an acceptable outing, but I would probably look elsewhere next time.
We have been coming back to this place on and off for a few years now and it is fine. The lifts are reliable and the views are as good as they ever were. However the prices seem to have crept up and the cafe queue at the top was very slow on our last visit, which was a shame.
