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 moreWay better than the big wheel down by the pier, the views are wider and you don't get that tiny cramped cabin feeling. Booked on my phone in like a minute. Lift was quick and the staff were sound.

Really lovely first visit, would definitely come back. Booked online, the ticket came through by email and the lift ride was smooth. Staff pointed out the landmarks without being pushy.
My dad turned seventy and he wanted a view of the city he grew up in, so I booked this for us. Booking was quick on the site and the confirmation came through straight away. The lift was smooth and he loved it.
The glass floor section was the bit I didn't expect, honestly quite a rush standing on it. Booked on the app and it scanned fine at the entrance. Staff were friendly and the lift was packed but moved along.
We were stuck in town on a rainy Saturday with nothing planned and this was the first thing that came up. Got the tickets on my phone, no faff at the door, and the lift was packed but moved quick. Honestly a great shout for a random afternoon out.
The views over the city at night are honestly mental, didn't expect it to be that good. Booked on the site in about two minutes, lift up was quick and the staff were chill about us taking loads of photos. Would go back with mates, easy.
You get proper views of the whole city from up there and the staff know their stuff. Booked well in advance and the tickets were easy to pull up on my phone. Would happily take visitors up again.
Bought two adult tickets for the evening slot for my wife's birthday. Price was lower than the other tourist spots I'd checked and the booking confirmation came straight away. Got exactly what we paid for, nothing extra to pay at the desk, which I appreciated.
Needed a treat for my sister who is visiting from Scotland and I have been up here before so knew what to expect. Booked online the day before, confirmation came straight through, and the lift and staff were just as friendly as on my last visit. A lovely afternoon.
Compared to the other big attractions round here this was clearly the better value, and it is only a short walk from the station. Paid for the standard ticket online and got a little discount. Lift was quick and the view was just as good for less money.
