London Eye

The London Eye is open from 11 AM - 6 PM, 7 days a week.

The London Eye, located in the heart of London, is easily accessible by public transport. Buses to the London Eye include the 1, 12, 59, 68, 76, 77, 139, 148, 159, 168, 176, 188, 211, 243, 77, and 381, 507, 521. The Waterloo Underground stop is only a five-minute walk away and is serviced by the Bakerloo, Jubilee, Northern, and Waterloo & City lines. Westminster, Charing Cross, and Embankment Underground stations are also within walking distance.

There are male, female, and accessible toilets at the London Eye ticket office, as well as baby changing facilities.

The best option for parking is the Q-Park Westminster Car park, located a short walk away, where a promotional code offered by the London Eye provides a 10% discount. However, the London Eye is within the congestion charge zone, so driving may prove expensive!

The best stores and shopping experiences near the London Eye can be found a 15-20 minute walk away to the north in Covent Garden, perhaps the best-known shopping district in London. Alternatively, Gabriel’s Wharf, a short distance to walk eastwards along the river, is also a notable shopping district.

The London Eye requests that those experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 do not use the attraction and can get a refund for their tickets. There are hand sanitizers found in many locations around the attraction, and enhanced cleaning regimes are undertaken.

Tickets for the London Eye can be purchased online from £32.50 per adult, with a slightly higher fee if bought at the location. Under 3’s go in for free, and there are family discounts available also.

A ticket for the London Eye can be combined with a ticket for Madame Tussauds at a price of £50 per adult (a saving of £23). Further packages, and savings, are available, such as a triple ticket to the London Eye and Madame Tussauds, plus SeaLife, or the London Dungeons, for example.

The London Eye is fully wheelchair accessible. However, only two wheelchairs are permitted in each pod, and eight on the London Eye at any given time. Because of this, on-the-day booking of wheelchairs is not always available, and tickets are strongly recommended to be booked in advance.

Storing luggage with Nannybag is easy and only takes a few seconds: you can book from the website or use the Nannybag App, available on the App Store and Google Play. Enter your location in the search bar, and you’ll have many options to store your luggage near you safely. You’ll quickly find luggage storage points in various key London locations. There are different ways to refer to luggage storage depending on the place you’re in. However, they’re all referring to the same luggage storage service. In the UK, for instance, you'll find mentions of left luggage instead of luggage lockers. If so, no worries; it only means you'll find a storage spot for your belongings.

To guarantee a worry-free experience, Nannybag protects travelers’ luggage up to £10,000 against any incidents (loss, theft, or breakage) that may occur during the service. Moreover, our Nannies are certified and carefully selected by our company to guarantee their professionalism and hospitality. Customers can also consult the online ratings for Nannybag and comments given to each Nanny by other travelers.

Officially opened on New Year’s Eve 1999, the London Eye is also known as the Millennium Wheel. Within a few years, the London Eye quickly became an iconic and much-loved symbol of London City and, with three million annual visitors, is now the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom. Indeed, originally the plan was to remove it after five years, but it proved far too popular and has remained. Hop on one of the 32 large “pods”, each representing one of London’s boroughs, on this 135m high Ferris wheel (the largest in the world at the time of its construction), and you’ll enjoy an amazing panoramic view of London’s skyline!

Funnily enough, the pods are numbered 1-33 - you won’t find a pod number 13, to avoid bad luck! Eight hundred people can fit on the London Eye at any time, but due to its popularity it is usually full up; buying tickets in advance is recommended. Easily accessible by public transport, the London Eye is situated in the heart of London on the bank of the Thames river, close to some of London’s major tourist attractions, including the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and Big Ben. All these, and more, such as Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square, can be seen in a unique way from above during the half-hour ride on the London Eye.

Due to its central location, many of London’s most iconic landmarks are within walking distance of the London Eye. The historic Houses of Parliament, and its celebrated clock tower, commonly known as Big Ben, are must-sees for any tourist visiting London. The ancient Westminster Abbey, dating back to the 11th century and the site of state coronations, royal weddings, and funerals, and the burial place of some of the most important Britons in the country’s history, is also something not to be missed. The grand, imposing Trafalgar Square and Nelson’s column in its centre, serve as a symbol of London’s power and prestige and also houses the National Gallery, which boasts one of the most impressive art collections in the world. Imposing, too, is the world-famous Buckingham Palace, home of the royal family and a symbol of everything British, located just over a mile walk away from the London Eye. Fans of theatre should not miss a chance to watch a play at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, a reconstruction of the original building where the famous playwright’s plays would be performed. From the live music to the lack of artificial lighting, everything there is how it would have been over four hundred years ago in Shakespeare’s time. Finally, the architectural masterpiece that is St. Paul’s Cathedral (mind-bogglingly large, which photos can not do justice to) is one of the finest examples of British architecture and has been an iconic symbol of London since its construction over 300 years ago.
