Book your tickets way in advance on their website. They offer discounts sometimes so it's worth checking that out. This was my second visit to the London eye (the first one was marred with a gloomy afternoon sky) at night. The night time view is spectacular. Big Ben was getting renovated, so that looked the ugliest of all sights from above. The ticket says it's a 30 minute ride, but it definitely wasn't and it ended up being 20 minutes. Visited in November 2018.
