The London Eye
The EDF Energy London Eye offers breathtaking views of London from high above the River Thames. See Big Ben towering above the Houses of Parliament, follow St. James Park as it sweeps down to Buckingham Palace. Is the Queen at home? You’ll spot the flag flying if she is.  A Standard Ticket Experience on the London Eye lasts for approximately 30 minutes, the time it takes for the London Eye to revolve completely. Relax in one of the 32 high-tech glass capsules and enjoy the London skyline at your leisure.

EDF Energy London Eye 4D
The London Eye 4D is a groundbreaking 3D film with in theatre effects, such as wind, bubbles and mist, to make the 4D.  The film itself is a touching story of a little girl in London with her father. Her view of famous London landmarks is obscured by people and traffic, but a seagull draws her attention to the London Eye and her father takes her for a visit; finally she has an amazing view of the city. Colourful parties inside the capsule, time lapse of the London Eye day and night and a spectacular firework display all add up to an emotional and entertaining experience; the perfect prelude to a visit to the London Eye itself.

All standard ticket guests wishing to see the 4D Experience would need to join the 4D entrance queue in County Hall with their tickets 45 minutes prior to their London Eye required time.  The 4D experience lasts approximately 15 minutes.

EDF Energy London In-Capsule Experience
The EDF Energy London Eye have now added a brand new in-capsule experience which will be available to all guests who visit London’s most iconic landmark. The London Eye’s capsules are now complete with state of the art Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 devices, displaying photos and information created exclusively for the London Eye.  Features include key information on landmarks that can be seen from the London Eye as well as a 3D view of each sight.  Innovative, 360 degree non-stop-24-hour filming has granted the EDF Energy London Eye and its guests the first ever multi-dimensional views of the spectacular sights of the capital.

Please note that we anticipate the London Eye being very busy during the Olympic weeks.  We advise that you visit the London Eye in the morning or evening wherever possible. We anticipate the afternoon (specifically 12pm-4pm) to be the period that will attract the longest queues and so the time of day to be avoided wherever possible. During this period we would like to remind you that the London Eye will be open until 12:00 midnight so there is plenty of time to visit.

If you need to visit in the afternoon then we would recommend that your visit is booked in for a specific time by replying to the email which you received with this voucher attached.
