The London Eye is open daily from 11am until 6pm
From the 1st April 2023, The London Eye will be open from 10am until 8:30pm during weekends and during Easter and Summer school holidays.

With all COVID-19 restrictions ending in England on 24 Feb 2022, our priority is to continue to offer the best possible experience to our guests whilst ensuring we also look after our staff. We continue to have hygiene and safety measures in place throughout our attractions, including enhanced cleaning, hand sanitiser and increased ventilation. In our indoor attractions, key walkways or busier areas, guests may still see signage stating ‘Face Coverings Recommended’ which is in line with public health guidance. Those staff who may wish to continue wearing a face covering whilst working have the option to do so.
If you or your party display any symptoms of COVID-19 or have tested positive, we ask that you do not visit.
