Top Tips to Beat The Queues
- For a quieter experience, we recommend visiting early in the morning or later towards closing time. During busy peak periods like weekends and school holidays, expect longer wait times for London Eye boarding.
- The time stated on your ticket is when you enter the queue line. During peak times, the wait can be up to 45 minutes from this point. Please plan your visit accordingly.
- Travel light! To pass through security quickly, review our list of prohibited items. For more details, visit our arrival page.
- Of course, the best way to reduce your queuing time is by upgrading to Fast Track entry. With a dedicated entrance and priority access, you'll be in the sky in no time. Upgrade to Fast Track tickets available here.
