How much does the London Eye cost?
Standard tickets from £36 online. Fast Track £49 (skips the queue). Champagne capsule £52. Children 3–15 from £33. Under 3 free. Book at londoneye.com.
How long is a rotation?
Approximately 30 minutes. You don't need to jump on or off — the capsule moves slowly enough to walk in.
Do I need skip-the-line tickets?
The official Fast Track ticket (£49) is the legitimate queue-skip. Resellers sell 'priority access' for more.
When is the best time to ride?
Sunset for the most dramatic views. Weekday mornings for the shortest queues. Clear days for maximum visibility.
Can I buy tickets on the day?
Yes, but online prices are cheaper and slots can sell out. Book ahead.
