Hotels near London Eye

Located along the Thames River, this iconic observation wheel offers unobstructed views from its glass pods. During the 30-minute ride, you'll be able to see London's well-known buildings like Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and The Shard. On a clear day, you can see up to 25 miles from the top—where Windsor Castle is. Sunset views here are otherworldly, but nightfall views of the twinkling lights are great too. London Eye can be reached easily by taking the Tube to Waterloo station. You might want to buy fast-track passes online in advance to skip the queues. – Tripadvisor

    Expense but good view
    Expensive but good view of the city. It moves so slowly you can’t tell you are moving. We did it on the first day of our trip and it gave a nice view of the city. I think slightly overpriced for a 25-30 min ride.

    Worthwhile Wheel Ride
    We found the London Eye to be a very worthwhile endeavor during our stay in London. From above, the views are stunning, it gives you a better idea for the lay of the land, and it moves slow enough; which makes it not at all scary. My only criticism is... I wish less people were in each pod that goes round. Other than that, great views!!
    Sounds like you had a great time! We always love hearing about your flight through the heart of London. Come back and see us soon! Views this good never get old! Kind Regards, Helga Customer Services Team The lastminute.com London Eye

    Glad I made it to the London Eye this time around
    It was my first time on the London Eye and the views were amazing. I opted for the Fast Track ticket but in mid-September the regular queues seemed manageable. Each car on the London Eye allow you to walk around and see different views with bench seating in the middle. The entire ride was probably around 30 minutes or so.
    So glad to hear you had a fun day out flying through London’s skyline with us! Don’t be a stranger – come back and see us again soon. Check out the special offers on our official website to grab the best deal and experience London’s most iconic views again! Kind Regards, Helga Customer Services Team The lastminute.com London Eye

    Great
    I know people disagree on whether the London Eye is worth it or not. We visited with teenagers and they would very much have the experience - and they were thrilled and thereby I’m happy. Wouldn’t go there next time visiting London as it’s kind of a ‘do it once’-thing. But it was a great visit. Visited at 8PM and there were no people. Great

    A wonderful view of the London skyline
    Have wanted to go on the london eye for many years but never got round to it. Visited on a sunny October day and I am so glad I did, wonderful views from the top of the wheel. The pods have plenty of room so you can move about and look at the views from both sides. The queue didn’t take long at all to board and the whole process was very smooth and efficient. An excellent experience that leaves you with a fabulous visual memory of the London skyline
    Wow, thanks for the 5* review! We’re so glad you were moved by our iconic 360° views of London. Kind Regards, Jasmine Customer Services Team The lastminute.com London Eye

    The Big Wheel of London
    Rising up above the Thames River, at over 440 feet high, is the London Eye, an iconic structure, that is part of the London skyline. The London Eye gave us unparalleled of London. We were lucky that it was a clear day, so we were able to take great pictures of some the most iconic landmarks in London, such as, the Shard building, Westminster, HMS Belfast, St Paul's Cathedral, etc. This is an amazing 30 minute experience, to see of the great cities of the world from that high vantage point. There is a fee, a bit steep but worth the experience. This a great place to see a sunset (if you're able to get tickets), first date, selfies, and to just take it all in. If you're visiting London consider a ride on the London Eye.
    Thanks so much for the 5* review. Sounds like you really made the most of your trip to London, soaring through the heart of the city! We really hope you can come and visit us again soon. Don’t forget to book on our official website to guarantee entry. Kind Regards, Helga Customer Services Team The lastminute.com London Eye

    Amazing nighttime views of London, no crowds
    Wanted to end my London trip on a "high note" (get it, since you go up pretty high 😜) and managed to get one of the last times available on the London Eye before it closed. Since this is the first time I'm doing this, I cannot compare it to a daytime experience but this was lovely. No crowds, I was able to get a ticket and get right on. There were only about 12 people in our cabin so all of us got some quality photo time. London is still beautiful at night so I didn't feel like I missed out on anything. Tickets were £45 which is the regular price, the fast pass was £60 but I didn't buy that. The purchasing system was designed to upsell you so that was a bit annoying, just clicking through so many options. I had to help the guy next to me since it was so confusing. But now that I know what the nighttime view is like, I'll likely go back during the day next time.

    Vibrant atmosphere and thrilling rides
    The views are breathtaking and the experience is unforgettable. The wheel itself is an impressive feat of engineering, with its 32 capsules and a diameter of 120 metres. It's a great way to take in the sights of London in a unique way. The light show is especially spectacular at night, making it a great way to end a day of sightseeing in the city.

    What a fantastic experience, all made by our amazing host Camilla. This was a special occasion and a surprise. It literally couldn’t have gone any better and Camilla played along brilliant. Also taking some amazing pictures and a video we will treasure forever. It’s expensive but worth every penny if it’s a special occasion

    Well worth it for the wonderful city views
    It was a grey November morning and being "off peak" season, the queues were not very long and the process was flawless. I found the ticket price hefty at around 40 quid, especially when compared to the ZAR, however it was a wonderful experience and the first time I've seen London from that vantage point. It put the city's lay out into perspective and as one who has travelled London largely on the Underground, I loved seeing the above-ground view. Well worth it for the wonderful city views. The audio commentary also gives some nice tidbits of info and points out some of the landmark buildings.
    Thanks for the review. We know you’ve taken time out of your day to write it – so we’ll be sure to take what you’ve said on board to make the London Eye even better. Kind Regards, Helga Customer Services Team The lastminute.com London Eye
