How to get to the London Eye
It’s on the South Bank, next to County Hall and SEA LIFE London Aquarium—easy to reach by Tube, train, bus, bike, or on foot.
By Train
National rail to Waterloo (5–10 min walk) or Charing Cross (15–20 min via Hungerford Bridge). Tube: Jubilee, Northern, Bakerloo and Waterloo & City lines at Waterloo; Westminster (Jubilee, Circle, District) is across the bridge.
By Car
Driving in central London is slow and parking is limited. Nearby paid options (e.g., Q‑Park Westminster) exist; consider Congestion Charge and ULEZ. Public transport is easier.
By Bus
Several routes stop close by (e.g., 77, 211, 381 and RV1 legacy river corridor). Check TfL for live routes and times.
On Foot
Walk the South Bank from Westminster Bridge or Embankment for riverside views, street performers and easy wayfinding.
