London: Attraction Tickets and Tours

London Eye

The London Eye is the highest ferris wheel in Europe and draws more than 3.5 million visitors a year. When it was first built in 1999, it got the title of being the tallest ferris wheel in the world.

Within walking distance from the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye gained extraordinary popularity with its 135 meters height and 129 meters radius. From the glass cocoon, you can enjoy one of the most beautiful views of the city.

That is why it is one of the first things to do in London.
The London Eye is the number one attraction in London, and something not to be missed during your visit to the capital.

Opening its doors on 31 December 1999, the Eye, now called the Coca-Cola London Eye allows visitors to enjoy 360-degree views over the city. On a clear day, you can see as far as 40 miles away, right over to Windsor Castle!

A rotation takes half an hour, and an interactive guide within your warm, comfortable, enclosed capsule will give you information on the sights you’re seeing. These guides are available in several different languages.

Standing at 135 meters high, the London Eye is the world’s tallest cantilevered observation wheel and is designed to give visitors an up close and personal experience of the capital in all its glory.

Located on the South Bank of the Thames, the Eye sits directly opposite the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben.

Tower of London

Because this is one of London’s most popular attractions, you can expect a wait, so it’s always best to book your tickets well ahead of time, to avoid queuing or disappointment.

The London Eye is also placed in the ideal location, close to many of London’s most iconic sights.

This means you can easily sightsee after your 30 minute ride, including perhaps a Thames River cruise, visiting the Houses of Parliament, checking out Big Ben, or venturing to the Tower of London.

Of course, the London Eye opened on New Year’s Eve 1999, marking the start of the new Millennium in style. From that day on, this has been an attraction that makes your entire visit to London, and is one certainly not to be missed.

Children will love the experience, so it’s a great family day out too.

Kew Gardens

The Royal Botanic Gardens or shortly Kew Gardens is the name of the park that consists of gardens and botanic glasshouses.
