Good to know
Practical notes before your visit.
TimingFor August 2026, visit early in the morning or later toward closing for a quieter experience. Weekends and school-holiday periods are typically busier, so expect longer boarding queues; check the attraction’s opening calendar for the exact date because hours vary.
EntranceStandard ticket holders must proceed to Entrance A at their scheduled timeslot, while Fast Track ticket holders head to Entrance F. Do not arrive before your designated time, as queue entry is only permitted within a 15-minute grace period of your slot (late arrivals should head to the admissions team for the next available slot). All visitors must pass through a security and bag-screening checkpoint before boarding. Large bags, suitcases, and rucksacks are prohibited on the wheel but can be stored at the left-luggage facility inside the County Hall ticket office for a fee. Pushchairs and buggies are permitted on board but must remain completely folded and closed throughout the experience, or they can be stored free of charge at the ticket office left-luggage facility.
DiscountsChildren under 2 enter free but must have a pre-booked ticket added to the reservation. Children aged 2–15 receive discounted rates but must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or older. Visitors aged 16–17 can enter unaccompanied but cannot supervise younger children. Disabled guests can book one free carer ticket online alongside a paid ticket, requiring valid proof of eligibility (such as a PIP/DLA letter, Blue Badge, Access Card, or international equivalent) at the entrance; the accompanying carer must be at least 14 years old. Wheelchair users must pre-book a dedicated wheelchair time slot in advance due to safety limits of 2 wheelchair users per pod and 8 total on the wheel at any time.
Planning your visit
The Millennium Wheel, also known as the lastminute.com London Eye, is a cantilevered observation wheel and giant observation wheel on the South Bank beside the River Thames. Designed by Marks Barfield Architects, it faces the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Bridge, with Jubilee Gardens directly around the riverside approach.
A standard admission ticket uses a timed entry slot, and the experience includes one 30-minute rotation in a glass pod with views across central London. A private capsule is a separate hosted setting, while the London Eye River Cruise departs from the London Eye Pier beside the wheel and adds river-level views.
The ticket office is inside Riverside Building County Hall, next to the wheel; standard visitors use Entrance A and Fast Track visitors use Entrance F. Waterloo Underground Station is about a five-minute walk via the South Bank exit, while Westminster Underground Station is across the river near the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Pier.
The published opening hours commonly run from 10:00 to 20:30 during the warmer season, with entry typically stopping 30–45 minutes before closing. Every visitor passes security before boarding, large luggage is not permitted onboard, and step-free boarding access is available from the boarding ramps; wheelchair time slots should be reserved in advance because pod capacity is limited.
Before you buy
Concrete caveats: security, bags, cancellation, time slots.
- Official tickets are strictly non-refundable. While you can reschedule the date and time up to 1 hour before your slot via the official portal, you cannot get a refund if your plans change.
- Fast Track tickets do not bypass security. All visitors must go through airport-style bag screening and metal detectors, which can create queues even for priority ticket holders during peak hours.
- Oversized bags are banned from pods. Any luggage larger than 46cm x 33cm x 20cm must be checked at the ticket office left luggage facility for a fee of £5 per item (rising to £25 if left overnight).
- No food or drinks (except water) are permitted inside the capsules. Any outside alcohol, open beverages, or food will be confiscated at the security checkpoint.
- There are no toilets onboard the wheel. Restrooms are only available in the ticket office, so you must use them before entering the boarding queue, which can take up to 45 minutes.
- Your ticket time is for entering the queue, not boarding the pod. A standard ticket time slot only grants access to the line, where wait times average 30 to 45 minutes (and can exceed an hour on weekends).
Frequently asked questions
The things people ask most.
Do I need to print my London Eye ticket, and how do the time slots work?
No, mobile tickets are fully accepted; you can show the barcode on your phone or add it to your digital wallet. The time slot on your ticket is when you join the boarding queue, not the exact time you step onto the wheel.
Can I cancel or reschedule my London Eye ticket if my plans change?
Official tickets are non-refundable, but the booking guarantee allows you to reschedule your date and time up to 1 hour before your slot (up to 3 times within 90 days). Partner tickets may have different cancellation policies, so verify their terms at checkout.
Should I buy tickets directly from the official website or a partner seller?
Official tickets offer the best price guarantee and flexible rescheduling. Partner platforms like GetYourGuide or Tiqets are useful for booking last-minute slots when the official site is sold out, or for bundling the Eye with other London attractions.
What is the bag policy and security procedure at the London Eye?
All guests must pass through security checks before boarding. Small daypacks are allowed inside the capsules, but large bags and suitcases are prohibited; you can store them at the ticket office left-luggage facility for £5 per item.
What happens if I miss my scheduled time slot?
There is a 15-minute grace period where you can still join the queue. If you are more than 15 minutes late, the admissions team at County Hall will assist you in getting onto the next available time slot.
Are there free or discounted tickets for children and carers?
Children under 2 years old enter for free but still require a valid ticket. Disabled visitors pay standard rates but are eligible for one free carer ticket, which should be reserved in advance.
How long is the wait once I arrive, and how can I avoid the longest queues?
The main bottleneck is the boarding queue, which can take 30 to 45 minutes during peak times (weekends and school holidays) even with a timed ticket. To bypass this, you can upgrade to a Fast Track ticket or visit early in the morning or late in the evening.
