Advantages Great views over London, Nice one off experience
Disadvantages Pricey, Can get busy
We live close to London and I think we take it for granted sometimes, so last month I decided to take the family for a 'tourist day' in London to see the sights! Our first stop was the London Eye...

I had used Avios (formally Airmiles) to pay for our London Eye experience. Before we could board the Eye, we had to visit the ticket office opposite. We swapped our Avios vouchers for London Eye tickets - the queue was fairly long but went down quickly. Standard ticket prices are normally £18.90 for adults, £9.90 for children (4-15 years), £15.00 for seniors, £57.60 for a family of 4 and free for under 4 year olds. You can save 10% on single tickets and 20% on family tickets if you book online prior to your visit. Higher priced Flexi tickets, Fast Track tickets, Combination tickets and Champagne Experience etc are also available. In my opinion ticket prices are quite expensive, especially if you have a whole family to pay for. The London Eye is open all year round but it's best to check the website before planning a visit.
Inside of the ticket office building is a 4D experience which was included in the price of our tickets. We decided to give it a miss and we thought our daughter would get bored, although afterwards I was informed that the 4D experience is quite enjoyable - typical! It is also worth picking up a London Eye 360 View Guidebook (£1.00) which is full of interesting information and can be used to pin point landmarks, plus keep as a souvenir.The queue for the London Eye was very big, we were dreading it. However we only ended up queueing for about 20-30 minutes and it seemed to go very quickly as the queue was constantly moving. There was also a lady selling snacks and drinks in the queue which helped!
