[REQUEST] london eye

i dont remember to be honest (we did this over a year ago) but i do remember they have one of those machines that the people on the buses use to check you've paid your fare. and i def remember having to hand over at least one oyster card, cant remember if the OH had to hand over his though.

Quick update for anyone who was reading this.

Did exactly as Karnam said - got a single PAYG Oyster Card, put 80p on it, got the bus to the eye, and got 2 for 1 tickets saving £12.70 when you take into account the 80p.

Leisure Vouchers which can be obtained both from ipoints and pigsback are valid for the London Eye - we had a 'free' ride last month using those.

if you go to ipoints.co.uk site

and click on the rewards you can spend you i points on there is something called leisure vouchers if you order the leisure vouchers catalogue which is a little booklet it has a voucher for 2 for 1 for the london eye

Have a look on ebay. Tickets turn up there sometimes.
You can also buy airmiles with tesco points, then use the airmiles to pay for London Eye tickets.

I don't know if you use Tesco Deals, but there is a London Eye and Thames lunch cruise package for 2 that would cost you 24.95 in Tesco vouchers. It is on the Buyagift website. Bought it for my M and D last year, and they loved it.

Do you know if babies are allowed on the lunch cruise - I really need a good anniversary present and this would be ideal. :money: Also any idea what the food/menu is like?

Thanks for this and other related postings. Just got back from London where I was meeting my son who has an Oyster card for his everyday travel. His travel on the day to meet us at the London Eye qualified him to get 2 for 1 with no need for me to have a card too. He didn't ask the question, but they only let one of a party queue for tickets so chances are you would only have your own card on you.
