Overall Rating
Excellent
Went with a pal who was (and is still!) scared of heights - he wanted to challenge himself - but even he enjoyed it!! Everything was super easy - from buying tickets to joining the queue (you get to skip to the front) and entering and exiting the pods themselves... Definitely recommend!
Disabled Access In and Around
Excellent
Fab! We were directed to a great accessible box office at which there was no queue. When we then went to join the queue to board the London Eye we were escorted to the front of the line. It was also surprisingly easy to board the 'pods' themselves - staff put a sturdy ramp down and you can easy wheel on and off.
Parking & Transport
Excellent
It's on London's Southbank - we were staying nearby so it was easy to get to. It's near Waterloo station and on many bus routes too. Not sure whether there is any accessible parking nearby.
Accessible Toilets
0Didn't use the loo - but imagine there would be one in the main County Hall ticket office.
Staff
Excellent
Ace! Everyone we encountered was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly!
Additional Information
Definitely recommend. Had visited the Eye once before but that was many years ago. It was great to 'play tourist' and chill out with some fantastic views of London's skyline!
