Britain · LONDON EYE TICKETS
Good london eye tickets fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Ride the London Eye for about 30 minutes in a spacious glass capsule, reaching 135 meters above the Thames. You’ll see Big Ben, Westminster, the City of London, and many familiar landmarks from a fresh angle. Choose standard or fast-track entry, use the free app for guidance, and book a clear-weather time for the best views.
“I am scared of heights, but you dont feel a thing once inside, I enjoyed the experience.”
Pair two classic London attractions with one flexible ticket. Ride the London Eye for broad views of Big Ben, Parliament, and Buckingham Palace, then visit Madame Tussauds for wax figures, the Royal Balcony, interactive rides, and a 4D cinema experience. Book the Eye first, then reserve Madame Tussauds separately within 90 days.
“Our last visit to Madame Toussade was 30yrs ago and the improvements are great. I missed leaders that are currently being mentioned, but I guess there are some political issues. hope to come back earlier.”
Combine three classic London views in one ticket: open-top Big Bus routes, a one-way Thames cruise, and a timed London Eye ride. Use the 24-hour pass for a fast overview or choose 48 hours for slower sightseeing and three guided walks, including Royal, Harry Potter, and Jack the Ripper themes.
“Everything was very well organised and especielly the LondonEye was worth the money! So nice and beautiful to see London from above. We had standard tickets and even if it was a lot of people there everything flow on and the waiting was short. In the cabin it was not crowded and we could really enjoy the ride. Bus and River Cruise was also very nice! Ake Andersson, Taby, Sweden”
Set off from London Eye Pier for a roughly 40-minute Thames cruise with live English commentary. Guides such as Mitch, George, Ben, Josh, and Emma mix landmark facts with jokes as you pass Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral, Shakespeare’s Globe, the Tower of London, and Tower Bridge. Add a London Eye ticket if you want both sights.
“Took my two kids Ny daughter thout it maybe a little boring but overall she was very impressed and we all enjoyed it including the eye to which im not a fan of hegits but that was quite chilled”

Bring matching photo ID for the lead traveler and arrive early for security.
“Amazing and easy. Just wish it hadn’t been a rainy day for better views. Plenty of space to move around.”

“Highly recommend the fast track since the regular line can be extremely long. Fast track saves time.”

“Super easy to use and saved us a lot of time in queues.”
Visit SEA LIFE London Aquarium across 14 themed zones and three floors, then ride the 135-meter London Eye for 30 minutes. Your SEA LIFE time is booked first, while the London Eye slot is arranged through your confirmation voucher. Both attractions sit beside each other on Southbank.

Hosts including Arnie, Mia, Amanda, and Owen have earned especially warm praise.

Expect theatrical scenes with Sweeney Todd, Jack the Ripper, and Newgate Prison, followed by a 30-minute Eye rotation above the Thames. The two attractions sit close together, making this a handy one-day pairing.
“There was an extended delay at the beginning after we got inside. (I’m assuming someone either got sick or too scared and they had to pause the line.) After we got going though things went relatively smooth. If someone doesn’t like scary things this is NOT for you!”
Start at Victoria for a coach tour, then visit St. Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, and the Crown Jewels. A Thames boat ride and London Eye flight are included when you choose that option. Guides such as Mark, Morton, Tish, and Zozo bring the city’s past to life.
“Mark was a very knowledgeable and helpful guide. We saw 4 sites but never felt rushed. It was a small group, only 11 of us, so he had plenty of time to answer questions and give more information. .”
