We got a great bird's-eye view of the city from the London Eye. We went at sunset, which gave us an excellent view of the layout of London but we still were able to see all the lights coming on. Very clean and plenty of room.

For the amount you spend i think it is overrated!!Good to do once and maybe at night with the london lights on as it will give a very diffrent view of London.

the london eye has amazing views of london. hadnt booked tickets and joined the standard tickets queue looked long but went very quickly and the queue for the eye itself. the pods not full of people so can go and look anywhere in the pod. good to do once.
The London Eye provides awesome views of the city! Nice rest after walking around the city! Well worth the entrance fee!!
big lines but moves quite fast, good to do once when you are in london, great views across the city, avoid in the wind as its a bit wild at the top if its windy
