London attraction tickets discounts?

I'm planning a trip to London with the family. Anyone know of any discount codes for London Eye, Theatre tickets etc? Never been before so any suggestions?
Thanks:rotfl:

    I started a thread on here in June looking for discounts for the London Eye. The best I could find was a 10% discount for prebooking on the London Eye website http://www.londoneye.com/VisitorInformation_hb.aspx?sec=vi&productid=414

    I was amazed at how easy it was to book. I was able to prebook my flight time. I picked up the tickets from the London Eye ticket office by inserting my credit card into one of three prebooking computers. I didn't have to queue with the people collecting their tickets because they had booked through third party companies.

    OK I only got 10% discount but the whole process was effortless, especially as I went with young children.

    This is a bit late now, but we got our cheap London Eye tickets using our Airmiles. We converted Tesco Clubcard points into Airmiles - tickets are 180 airmiles per adult and 90 per child. 60 Airmiles = £2.50 clubcard points which equates to £7.50 per adult and £3.75 per child, which I didn't think was bad at all. You need to allow a week or so for the tickets to come through but it was worth the wait.

    I didn't know that...it's very interesting as I do plan to take the kiddies on the London Eye one day.

    So once you had converted your points to Airmiles, did you then have to send the Airmiles off to an address from the London Eye website, to change them for tickets?

    Thanks for any info!

    Coupon-mad... I've been looking at this Airmiles-to-LondonEye conversion. All you need to do is log into the Airmiles website once your points have been converted. There's a section on the Airmiles website labelled "Days Out and Theme Parks".

    Here's a link to it:

    http://www.airmiles.co.uk/travel/searchDaysOut.do?requestAction=searchAction&activity=/web/Days%20out%20and%20themeparks&priceRange=0

    You can order your London Eye tickets direct from the Airmiles website.
    It all seems very easy and I'm planning on ordering some today too.

    Hi Coupon Mad and La-Banque. That's right you can just order your Eye tickets direct from the Airmiles web-site. You can convert your Tesco Clubcard points online too - I think you go to the Tesco web-site and input the code on the voucher, but you will need to register with airmiles first, which if I remember is really easy too.

    Hope you both have a good day there. Let me know if you try the river cruise as that's also available very reasonably from the Airmiles site.
