London Eye Fast Track

What Is London Eye Fast Track?

London Eye fast track tickets give you priority entry: you join a dedicated queue instead of the standard one, so you spend less time waiting and board the wheel sooner. The ride itself is the same—one 30-minute rotation in a capsule—but the experience of getting on is quicker. This guide explains how fast track works, typical prices, and when it’s worth the extra cost. We are an independent information site; bookings are made through authorised partners.

Fast Track vs Standard: Is It Worth It?

During busy periods (weekends, school holidays, summer), the standard queue can take 20–45 minutes or more from your ticket time to boarding. Fast track can cut that to a few minutes. If you have limited time in London, are with restless children, or simply prefer not to queue, fast track is often worth the extra. On quiet weekday mornings, the standard queue may be short, so the benefit is smaller. Check the booking widget for current availability and prices for both options.

Typical Fast Track Prices

On the official London Eye website (londoneye.com), fast track tickets are often listed from around £48 per adult when bought online (walk-up around £54). Standard tickets start from around £33 online. So you’re paying roughly £15 more per adult for priority. Flexi fast track (more flexibility on arrival time) is often from around £53 per adult. For up-to-date figures see our London Eye tickets prices page and the widget on this page.

How Fast Track Works on the Day

When you have a fast track ticket, you go to the fast track entrance (or a clearly signed priority queue) and show your e-ticket. You’ll be directed to a shorter queue that leads to the boarding area. You still go through security. Once at the front, you board the next available capsule. The 30-minute rotation is the same for everyone; the difference is only in how long you wait before boarding.

Flexi Fast Track

Some providers offer “flexi” or “flexible” fast track, which may allow you to arrive within a wider time window rather than a fixed slot. That can help if your schedule is uncertain. Check the product description when you book to see the exact terms.

Fast Track with Families

Families often find fast track useful because children get bored in long queues. You can buy fast track for adults and children; see our London Eye family ticket page for family options. The same priority queue applies to everyone on the booking.
