There’s nowhere quite like London at Christmas, and there’s no better view than 135 metres above the city. This year, the London Eye is turning up the sparkle with a full line-up of festive experiences running from 14 November to 3 January
Designed to make the holiday season unforgettable, the programme offers something for every occasion, from family days out and special date nights to memorable Christmas celebrations. Guests can immerse themselves in the magic of soaring above London’s skyline, with the capital glittering with Christmas lights below.
The Festive Flights immersive experience is included in every ticket from 14 November, with guests stepping into seasonally-decorated pods for unrivalled views of Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and St Paul’s Cathedral. The experience is brought to life with audio narration from Father Christmas himself sharing enchanting Christmas stories of London past and present. For an especially atmospheric experience, evening rides offer a spectacular view of the city at night.
The Festive Champagne Flight is the perfect way to elevate the holiday season with friends and family, or treat someone special to a romantic experience, with Moët & Chandon champagne and seasonal surprises.
Families enter a world of magic with the unique experience – Santa in the Sky. Guests are greeted by one of Santa’s elves within a special space filled with a host of crafts, games, and sweet treats. They are then invited to board the London Eye for a meeting with Father Christmas himself, while looking out over the city. The wonder-filled encounter unfolds before little eyes with stories, surprises, and a special gift. Available on select dates from 21 November to 24 December.
And finally, the quintessential British tradition is given a seasonal transformation with the Festive Afternoon Tea. Set against London’s most spectacular views, the experience brings together an elegant selection of seasonal savouries and sweet treats, from turkey, ham and mustard mayonnaise sandwiches, to eggnog cupcakes and red hazelnut choux, alongside traditional mince pies. The menu is accompanied by a specially curated selection of teas, completing an indulgent celebration of the season.
As dusk falls, guests can complete their festive experience by taking in the spectacle of the London Eye Daily Light Show. The iconic wheel will illuminate the skies with a dazzling Christmas display drawing on seasonal themes and symbols. The show will delight guests each evening from 14 November.
Beyond family days and date nights, the London Eye’s festive experiences make it a standout choice for those work Christmas parties. Pair a Festive Champagne Flight or private hire with the best view in town for a party guests will remember.
