Getting here
The London Eye is located on the South Bank of the river Thames, opposite to Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and next to the London Eye Pier. The nearest train stations are Waterloo and Charing Cross and closest underground stations are Waterloo, Embankment and Westminster. If bringing a group by coach, you have 15 minutes to drop off and 15 minutes to pick up your group.
Facilities
At the London Eye, you'll find restrooms located in the ticket office near the VIP desk. Male and female toilets are available downstairs, along with an accessible toilet on the ground level. Unfortunately, we do not provide storage for school groups, and there is no designated lunch area within the attraction. However, during the summer months, you’re welcome to enjoy your lunch in the Jubilee Gardens.
