When I wrote this post adult tickets on the London Eye cost £14.50. Tickets for children ages 5-15 cost £7.25, children under 5 are free. Also people over 60 cost £11 and so do registered disabled.

The ticket prices aren’t that high for one of London’s major attractions, the ride on the London Eye is quite long (around 30 minutes) and you can see for around 25 miles from the top.

Facts about the London Eye:

• The London Eye is 135m tall and took seven years to build

• The wheel circumference is 420m and the total weight of the eye is 2,100 tonnes
