About Christmas at The London Eye

Celebrate Christmas on the Iconic London Eye

Festive magic above the city

Step into a winter wonderland as the London Eye transforms for the holiday season. From 15 December to 25 December, the famous observation wheel glows with beautiful Christmas lights, creating a memorable seasonal experience for all visitors. As night falls, see London’s skyline twinkle below, with landmarks like Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral and the River Thames illuminated against the city’s wintry night sky.
