They say visiting London and not going on the London Eye is like visiting Paris and not going up the Eifel Tower. £15 for 30 miuntes is a little steep but it has no problems attracting the numbers.

There was a good queue for it but it moved pretty quickly. The view is amazing from the top and because it was a warm sunny day it was even better. Expensive maybe but it is something you have to doclose

Great way to see the city - bit expensive at £15 a person. Views are spectacular. Feels bit like a regular big wheel but if you like them generally then go for it. There are often qeues, you can pay extra to skip the qeue but then its expensive enough already..worth a go i rekon. British Airways... more Great way to see the city - bit expensive at £15 a person.

British Airways London Eye is on the South Bank of the River Thames, across from Houses of Parliament and the ticket office is inside County Hall, which is the building directly next to the Eye. The nearest tube stations are Westminster (Exit 1 Westminster Pier) and Waterloo, which are both within 5 minutes walking distance. From Waterloo take exit 6 for the South Bank.close

£13.50 may seem a lot to spend to stand in a capsule for 30 minutes, but going to London and not boarding the London Eye is like visiting Paris without going up the Eiffel Tower. This is the world's largest observation wheel and views over the English capital from the top are breathtaking,... more £13.50 may seem a lot to spend to stand in a capsule for 30 minutes, but going to London and not boarding the London Eye is like visiting Paris without going up the Eiffel Tower. This is the world's largest observation wheel and views over the English capital from the top are breathtaking, particularly those of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben.close

"What better place to experience London from the sky" one of the quotes used by those who run the London Eye. Sponsored by British Airways, the worlds biggest wheel rotates for your viewing pleasure!

Sponsored by British Airways, the worlds biggest wheel rotates for your viewing pleasure! Once you get over the price which can be expensive depending, you step inline where the wait is no more than 10mins and you step into your own pod for half an hour. Hurry though as the London Eye is only around for another two years as it will have reached the end of it's lifespan. I provides uninterrupted views of one of the worlds greatest cities!close

Managed to finally see a bit of sun this weekend when I headed over to London. I have been loads of times but this time decided to do the touristy thing and what better place to start than the London Eye. It really is an amazing feat of engineering!

I have been loads of times but this time decided to do the touristy thing and what better place to start than the London Eye. It really is an amazing feat of engineering! It was really good, very steady and fantastic views over the whole of London. I never realised the place was so flat! The queues were pretty big but they have a fairly snappy system and we only ended up queuing for about 15-20 mins. It's not that expensive and definitely worth a trip!close

Okay, what you see is what you get, I cannot understand why everybody raves on about it. It is a big wheel that takes you on a ride (THEY CALL IT A FLIGHT) - it is too expensive. goes too slow and they cram too many people into it. <br><br>It was okay, and I suppose it is something... more Okay, what you see is what you get, I cannot understand why everybody raves on about it.

The views are great mind you.close
