Boarding flow, capsule features, 30‑minute rotation, landmark spotting and how to pick the best side for the views on the London Eye.

The Eye’s slow, near‑imperceptible motion makes it friendly for most visitors—including those sensitive to rides.
| Direction | Landmarks |
|---|---|
| North | Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey |
| East | The Shard, City skyline, St Paul’s |
| South | South Bank arts venues, Jubilee Gardens |
| West | Buckingham Palace area, Green Park tree canopy |
Arrive prepared, move calmly to the glass on boarding, and rotate around the capsule for fresh angles.

I created this guide to help you pick great times, avoid long waits and make the most of London’s skyline.
