London Eye Tickets 2026: Booking, Prices, & Fast Track Guide

When you travel to London,

you'll probably find yourself wondering whether or not to ride the London Eye at least once.

I actually rode it during the day,

and to cut straight to the chase, if it's your first time in London,

I definitely recommend trying it at least once! Haha.

When you see it in pictures,

you might think it's just a big Ferris wheel.

But when you actually get up close,

it's way, way bigger than you'd expect...!

Standing at 135m tall,

it truly feels different from your typical Ferris wheel.

One full rotation takes about 30 minutes,

and there's even a seating area in the middle of the capsule.

But I barely sat down, haha.

I was too busy soaking in the London views,

moving from one side to another, and taking countless photos,

I simply didn't have time to sit!

So, from London Eye booking times,

to Standard, Fast Track, Champagne experiences,

combos, and finally, even discount codes,

I'll share all the details, so keep reading until the end! :D

1. London Eye Booking Times

For the London Eye, it's a good idea to

pre-book your visit date and time.

When you select a date on Klook

and choose your desired ticket option,

the available times for that day will appear.

So, when you're planning your London itinerary,

it's best to first check which times are still available for your chosen date.

I rode it during the day,

and it was absolutely wonderful to see Big Ben, the Thames River, and the whole city of London spread out below.

I couldn't stop taking pictures, haha!

If you want to see the night view,

you'll need to check for later time slots,

but remember that operating hours and available times can vary by date.

And just because you have a reservation,

don't arrive exactly on time... haha!

I remember waiting a little bit on-site,

so I recommend arriving at least 20 minutes beforehand.

2. Standard Ticket Prices

Standard tickets started from ~$36.

On some dates,

they were as much as ~$41.

Since prices aren't the same every day,

the most accurate way to check is by entering your travel dates

and confirming the real-time price.

If your main goal is simply to ride the London Eye,

and you don't mind waiting a little,

I'd probably start by looking at the Standard tickets.

Compared to Fast Track,

there's quite a significant price difference.

Since you're riding the same London Eye either way,

if your itinerary allows for some flexibility,

saving that money to spend elsewhere is a pretty good idea, haha!

I went with my super-organized friend (a 'Power J' if you know MBTI!),

and we opted for the Standard tickets, hehe.

3. Fast Track Tickets

Fast Track tickets allow you to

use a priority entrance lane that's faster than the regular queue.

Prices started from ~$58,

and on some dates, they were as high as ~$64.

Considering Standard tickets start from ~$36,

that's almost a ~$22 difference!

Hmm...

Personally, on days when my schedule is flexible,

I'd probably go for the standard ticket haha.

But if it's a weekend or your London itinerary is packed

and you really don't want to waste time waiting in line,

then the Fast Track ticket is definitely worth considering.

But it doesn't end there.

We need to look at the champagne prices together haha.

4. Champagne

The Fast Track + Champagne included ticket

started from ~$63.

Depending on the date,

there were also days it was ~$67 or ~$68.

But if the Fast Track ticket is ~$58

and the Champagne included ticket is ~$63,

the difference is only about ~$5.

On a day when Fast Track is ~$64

and champagne is ~$67...

the difference is ~$2 haha!

Wait a minute...

Especially if the price for Fast Track and the Champagne-included option

is only a few dollars difference...

I'm definitely going for the champagne option! lol

Enjoying a glass of champagne while taking in the panoramic views of London...?

If you factor in the ambiance,

that's totally my style...! haha

Anyway, if you're already here on a trip to London

and you're only going to ride it once,

I'd definitely pay a few extra dollars for this option.

So, if you're thinking about the Fast Track ticket,

don't just pay right away.

Make sure to check the price for the Champagne-included option for the same date.

5. Combo Tickets

For those visiting London for the first time, it's also worth looking at combo tickets.

The London Eye + Thames River Cruise was ~$77,

while the London Eye + Thames River Cruise +

City Tour Bus started from ~$79.

The difference is only ~$1 haha!

Seriously, for just that much...

I'd definitely check out the one with the City Tour Bus first haha!

Since you can ride the London Eye, take a Thames River Cruise,

and even use the City Tour Bus,

if you're visiting London for the first time

and planning to explore around,

these combo tickets can actually be more convenient.

If you were initially just going to book the London Eye,

but then thought about doing a cruise too,

definitely compare the combo prices.

6. Discount Codes

The most important thing: DISCOUNT CODES!!!!

You can also use discount codes based on your purchase amount.

Discount Code for purchases over ~$37: ~$1 off

세시간전2600001

​

Discount Code for purchases over ~$74: ~$2 off

세시간전2600002

​

Discount Code for purchases over ~$148: ~$5 off

세시간전2600003

Here, there are four zeros in each! haha

Especially if two people book together or you choose a combo ticket,

it's easy to exceed the ~$74 or ~$148 thresholds, right?

So, don't just pay normally,

try adding a coupon first...! haha

7. Booking Review

Even though I rode it during the day, I was really satisfied.

It's much bigger than it looks from the outside,

and as you go higher, the London cityscape unfolds,

so I just kept taking pictures.

Even though there's a seating area in the middle,

I didn't even think about sitting down haha!

First, I took photos of the scenery below,

then as we went up a bit, I focused on Big Ben,

Go up higher and you can snap the whole skyline again...

I thought 30 minutes would feel like ages,

but it flew by so much faster than I expected, haha!

If it's your first time in London,

I definitely recommend you try this at least once...!

Make sure to check your reservation time beforehand,

and aim to arrive at the site with about 20 minutes to spare.

And if you're planning to get the Fast Track,

definitely compare prices, even for the champagne-included options, haha!

Especially if it's only a few dollars difference...

I'm definitely going for the champagne, haha!
