London Eye
135-metre observation wheel on the South Bank with sweeping city views.
Ideal: Ideal for first-time London visitors and lovers of views and photography.
On the Thames South Bank, the London Eye is a 135-metre observation wheel that opens up central London from a wide angle. As each capsule rises slowly, Westminster, St Paul's, and the city skyline appear from different perspectives. The roughly half-hour rotation offers a short but powerful scenic break within a busy city day.
Why go?
- To watch Westminster and the Thames from above
- To catch the city lights at sunset
- To combine with a South Bank walk
Travel tip
Sunset sessions sell out quickly; if the view is your priority, book your ticket and time slot early.
