Take a Ride on the Magnificent London Eye - Ferrs Wheel

The London Eye was opened and launched just over ten years ago to celebrate the dawn of the new millennium in the year 2000. It has won a lot of praise since for its spectacular design and the magnificent 360 degree views it offers of London. This large Ferris wheel has become such an iconic symbol of London within a couple years, rivaling the likes of Big Ben and St Paul's Cathedral and known throughout the world.

Tourists flock from all over the world to have a chance at experiencing London to the fullest and taking a ride on the London Eye ranks right up there with some of the best tourist activities in London, along with riding on an open top bus and taking photos outside Buckingham palace.


If you are plan to take a ride on the London Eye, it is recommended that you book your tickets on-line a day or so before you want to ride. This will save you time and hassle when you come, because it will allow you to beat the queues when you come, and use the self service terminal to collect your ordered tickets. On certain days, the ticket queues can get very crowded and long because of the large influx of tourists, and waiting times can average around an hour just to buy tickets, then you need to queue again to get on the ride. Therefore it pays to book your slot ahead of time to ensure you have a more enjoyable experience.

Once you've collected your tickets at the ticket office, either through the self service terminal or through the counter, you need to go outside and queue at a different line to get on the ride. This queue might look quite long but the flow is quite fast-moving. There are 32 capsules, taking an average of 40 to 50 minutes to go around one full rotation.

Once you get on the capsule, you will be sharing with a few people. This can be a good thing because you will generally find someone who is friendly and can help you take a few pictures of you and your partner. The London Eye is one of the tallest Ferris wheels in the world and at its peak height, affords you some of the most beautiful views of London. It really is a truly spectacular experience and you definitely should try it once. Of course, it becomes a much better experience when you have someone to enjoy it with, like your partner or your loved ones. It is a guaranteed hit with children, so if you want to take them to somewhere where you'll see their eyes light up, this is it!
