SoloVerified booking4 days ago5/5Highly recommend visiting the abbey. Even if the time you choose is 11:00, when you arrive, you have to wait in a line to get in. When I went, it was about a 10-15 minute wait. Apparently, the entry time is approximate, and you can actually stay in the abbey until closing time. Therefore, I recommend checking what time they close each day before buying your ticket. The visit lasts 1-2 hours depending on how much you stop, and at the entrance they give you a free audio guide with headphones in several languages. They also have seats in different areas so you can rest while listening to it. My favorite part is the tombs of Elizabeth I, Mary, Queen of Scots, and Poets' Corner. One hour before closing, they block access to the Jubilee area, so if you want to see it, organize your time so you don't miss it. At the exit, there is a souvenir shop and bathrooms inside the complex. It is quite wheelchair accessible, although you would need help with a few steps. Recommended.LLisa N
CoupleVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Writing Excellent Experience with Headout We had a fantastic experience using Headout to book our tickets for the London Eye and Thames River Cruise. The booking process was quick, easy, and straightforward, and everything went smoothly on the day. The tickets were convenient to access, and both experiences were enjoyable and well organised. The London Eye offered spectacular views of London, while the Thames River Cruise was a wonderful way to see the city from a different perspective. We were very happy with the service from Headout and would definitely use them again for future attractions and experiences. Highly recommended!KKomal B
GroupVerified booking4 days ago5/5This combo was fantastic value and so easy to book. The London Eye gave us incredible panoramic views of the city — we could spot Big Ben, the Shard, and Buckingham Palace from the top. The Thames River Cruise was a perfect way to relax afterward, with a great guide sharing fun facts about the landmarks along the river. Booking both together saved us money and time, and the whole day felt seamless from start to finish. Highly recommend this combo for anyone visiting London for the first time!"MMuhammad S
SoloVerified booking5 days ago5/5Standing above London on the London Eye felt like seeing the entire city come alive beneath me. As the capsule slowly rose, I watched the Thames, Big Ben, and London’s iconic skyline stretch endlessly into the distance. For a few unforgettable minutes, I wasn’t just seeing London — I felt connected to its history, energy, and beauty. It was a moment I’ll carry with me long after the view disappeared. ❤️HHeather S
CoupleVerified bookingAug 20265/5Our visit was fantastic! We were deciding what we wanted to include in our little 4 day visit as there was so much to see with little time. The London eye gave us the opportunity to see the city with such amazing views and reasonable wait times. When we first entered the que, we thought we would be there all night waiting on line, but the line moved quickly, even without the fast pass! Great experience!
