London Eye: Skip the Line Tickets

London, United Kingdom

Skip the line for a perfect EDF Energy London Eye experience! With fast track entry for your standard flight in a shared capsule, you get to skip the majority of the queue. Don't waste time waiting in lines on vacation! The London Eye offers spectacular views of the capital of England from high above the River Thames. The famous landmarks to be seen include Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, St. Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey. Visit includes new interactive guides powered by Samsung Galaxy Tab and an entry to the London Eye 4D Experience, an inspiring journey of discovery that brings London to life through multi-sensory special effects.

The EDF Energy London Eye soars 443 feet (135 meters) into the sky and views stretching 25 miles (40 kilometers) in every direction. Since opening at the turn of the century, it has been used as a backdrop in countless films and is loved by Britons and visitors alike. More than 3.5 million people a year have ridden the London Eye (an average of 10,000 a day).

Skip the Line: London Eye Tickets are the fastest way to the sky! Check in just 15 minutes before your flight and avoiding the majority of the queue with fast track priority access. The tickets are pre-paid, for fast, hassle-free entry and you can board any flight on your chosen day. Price includes standard ticket price plus fast-track fee.

Pay a little more and you could save a lot of time! At weekends, during Bank Holidays and during school holidays the London Eye is at its most popular. London Eye: Skip the Line Tickets allow priority boarding and include a complimentary mini-guide for adults and an in-flight kids' pack for children.

Each London Eye capsule holds up to 25 passengers comfortably. All capsules are fully air-conditioned and rotate on a special device designed to keep everyone upright as the wheel makes a slow but progressive revolution.

If you wish to see the 4D Experience beforehand, we recommend you arrive 30-40 minutes before your visit time. Alternately visit at your leisure afterwards.

It was brilliant as we didn't have to queue.Just exchange the ticket and we were able to go to the fast track entry.Would definitely book tickets in advance again.

Skip the Line was well worth it! Waited about 10 minutes instead of 1 hr+

Review by: Mark T	April 2012
Well worth it, such great views we arrived at 10.00 am crowds seemed light however March is not the busiest season so this helps.

Incredible!!

Review by: Matthew Z	March 2012
Skip the line is only entitled you to skip the line to collect the ticket from viator and not for the entrance of the london eye!!!!!

Review by: Graham H	March 2012
Easy straight forward. 4D show included in the ticket was a bonus! Only three of us in the London eye capsule!! Amazing views. Very lucky with the weather.

Review by: Laura	March 2012
We were so happy to get to skip the long line- especially since we did this activity on the weekend.

Review by: avhetrick	February 2012
It was great to have the skip your line tickets and to show up when you want to. My husband and I got to the eye just before sunset which made for a beautiful view. If i had to wait in the long lines I would have been more disapointed, as you just go up and come back down very slowly.

Review by: Pamela H	February 2012
It was a good time on the Eye, but think that the tickets should be able to be used on it for more than one trip on it._br/_ We rode it at night just to see the lights and it was great- but then thought it would have been great to see things during the day to and get better photos._br/_ Okay for the price--would be better for an all day use, for more than one ride.

Review by: John B	January 2012
Eye - wonderful. Booking and ticketing - woeful. No signs to tell visitors where to queue or what to do: foreigners exasperated, difficulty in understanding what they were expected to do. We were Fast Track but the ticket checker claimed we were not!!! Frustrating

Review by: cjggreen	January 2012
OK - didnt need the "Skip" in December. Hardly any lines.

Review by: SUKHTEJ SINGH M	January 2012
It was worth each penny. Thanks for cheap tickets and good service from Viator. I will love to use again everytime I will travel. I strongly recommend to use Viator services. I will always prefer to buy skip the line tickets. At London Eye I prefer to watch 4D show first before going on the Eye.

worth it

Review by: CHRYSANTHI M	January 2012
excellent experience! feels great to be in so high level... we skip the line with our tickets and got in. the view is so nice over there. we catch the sunset down and the lights coming up! great!

Review by: Helder S	December 2011
Unfortunatelly on the day I went to the London Eye there was a techincal issue and we stood in the cold for about 45 min. I had fast track tickets and that didnt help much. Other than that the experience was great. Beware if you go there on a foggy or cloudy day you wont see much.

I was excited to ride on the London Eye once again. It gave me such an opportunity to see London from such a vantage point that could not be surpassed. Thank you for the opportunity and the warmth of the Team at London Eye.

Review by: Peter D	December 2011
Wonderful!! Getting a reservation was a real help in getting to the front of the line at the London Eye.

Review by: paul	December 2011
What a great way to see all of the city! I highly recommend!

Review by: Neil R	December 2011
Excellent. Well worth pre-booking to avoid the queues even getting there at 10am on a Sunday.

Review by: Donna C	December 2011
Well worth it to skip the queue! Licked out and had perfect weather. Timed it to take the ride at sunset...beautiful!

Review by: Mary T	November 2011
Would only do this "skip the line" ticket if going during the day or on the weekends. Crowds were sparse and you could have just walked on, this ticket did not get you any extra benefits

Review by: Emma D	November 2011
The advance tickets were great, we just had to take our printouts and exchange for passes to go on the eye, therefore went straight on. This was probably just as well as I went on it with my daughter and was dreading it as I'm not good with heights.

Review by: Martyn C	November 2011
Brilliant

Review by: Marian A	November 2011
I was told by a friend that there was commentary as you rode telling you about all the sights this wasn't the case so we were very disappointed. The fast track was worthwhile as I have medical problems that don't allow me to stand for long periods of time, so as I knew we'd spend most of the time in the capsule standing not having to stand in a queue beforehand was a plus.

Review by: bengu s	October 2011
This option saved us a lot of time.

Review by: David D	October 2011
Again - skipping the line was a bonus - there was a long long queue and we were on board the Eye within 5 minutes. We opted for a dusk trip and this was a fantastic experience - traveling up as the sun was setting and then watching the lights bring London to life for the night - highly recommend this excursion.

Review by: Robyn H	October 2011
An essential introduction to London (from the air). Brilliant views - great idea to include the 360 degree photo with landmarks (was not available 4 years ago).

Review by: Lee	October 2011
Although we visited the London Eye during the off-season it was clear that we saved a great deal of time with these "skip the line" tickets and this allowed more time to visit other attractions.

Review by: herbie2448	October 2011
Well worth having tickets before you get there as the lines can be time consuming. We will be organising more of these Skip the Line tickets in other cities. A shame it was raining but still great views and a great experience.

Review by: Duncan L	October 2011
Fantastic views over the city of London, quite a surreal experience. Any opportunity to skip a queue is worth it!

Review by: Greenies	October 2011
Excellent. So much easier than standing in a queue for ages. Enjoyed the Eye - views were wonderful. Definitely recommended.

Review by: Michelle B	October 2011
I would probably prefer to do this attraction by night as it is nice to see London all light up at night time. We did this attraction at day time and night time. Paying extra for skip the line tickets is well worth it as you are not spending unnecessary time in cues waiting.

Review by: Michelle B	October 2011
Well worth paying a little bit extra for skip the line tickets as at this attraction there are always cues and it saves waiting in a long cue as the skip the line tickets meant we didn't have to wait long at all and not wasting time in cues.

Review by: Anne P	October 2011
Excellent. Small non-smoking hotel. Space was small, but adequate. Would/Will recommend the hotel.

Review by: Amanda L	October 2011
Very well organised as didnt have to que at all for tickets. The eye is well worth a visit to see over london.

Review by: Barbara C, United States of America	July 2010
What a beautiful view! and it was great to be able to skip the line since we were in London for only a couple of days.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	July 2010
Perfect way to book your tickets - short wait and of course, fabulous views of London!

Review by: Maxine J, United States of America	June 2010
Really enjoyed the flight and the priority service we received prior to boarding made everything really smooth and easy given we had a 13month old with us. Great experience and had a ball!

Review by: Kaley M, United States of America	June 2010
This was a good deal for a great price. There was a very long line for the london eye and we went right through. There was also a neat little 4D show that was included in the price of tickets. All in all it took maybe an hour on this ride and the views are really amazing.

Review by: Richard H, United States of America	June 2010
Very convenient service. We enjoyed the ride!

Review by: DAVID G R, United States of America	May 2010
LOndon is my favorite city. You can go anywhere in that large city in 30 minutes using the Underground. We had 9 days there and also had a London Pass.

Review by: Anonymous, Kuwait	April 2010
Excellent. Only problem - directions were not adequate to find the check-in desk as many of the staff did not know where it was and misguided us.

Review by: Adrian C, United States of America	January 2010
We didn't have to wait in line and got to ride the Eye very quickly!

Review by: Anonymous, Austria	December 2009
Very nice in the evening!

Review by: Catherine B, Australia	December 2009
Our wait was very short, this was appreciated because it was very cold! There were only eight of us in the capsule which allowed for easy movement and positioning for photos. We had a pretty clear day, even though snow had been forecast. The Eye was closed when we arrived as the snow from the previous day had caused it to breakdown. We took the opportunity to go through the Movie Museum next door while we waited, very enjoyable! Booking the Eye ahead of time was a good idea and I would do that again and pay the extra for a Skip The Line Pass. I was traveling with my eight year old son and saving any time in a queue is worth every pound!

Brillian 4 D show and amazing wheel...ultimate male gadget...and wonderful Wordsworthian views! Feels so much safer than the Eiffel Tower!

Review by: Anonymous, Canada	November 2009
It is a must in London! Really romantic. It is recommanded to take a pass for the London Eye, the Aquarium, Mme Tussault and the London Dongeon, it is cheaper that way.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	November 2009
If you have a short time and don't like a lot of theather or museum gazing as an interest...this is a must. You don't have to waste alot of time waiting in line and you feel like you have the rest of your trip to explore everything you saw on the 360 London eye view. The snacks below are neat. I liked the different flavors of potato chips and the baguette hot dog....really long and filling until you decide what sight you want to go to along the way. Please go to the bathroom. There should be one hidden in the Mc Donald's in the insde county building close to the Dali Sculptures. The signs get a little crazy but you can navigate your way out and get some great pictures around this area for memories.

Great view
