If you have the money and are willing to spend it on a 30-minute "flight" (as they call it!), yes, it is worth it, I think. I went on a summer's day when there were long queues, but they moved quickly as the Wheel is in constant motion - not too fast, but you can easily step into your pod as it continues going round. From then on it depends with whom you're stuck - we had a poor little baby screaming all the way round... (Please don't take a baby on it!)
If you're restricted season-wise, you can probably do it in a morning if you get there early - including time waiting to buy tickets, queuing and trip. The views are worth seeing - you can even see as far as Windsor Castle on a clear day, and for this reason I would say don't book in advance as you never can tell what the weather's going to be like!
A friend of mine went out of season in winter; she said it really was lovely - no queuing, straight on the Wheel, and the lights of London town were magnificent.
I found it from £13.00 adults, £6.50 children. However, there are deals for the London Eye and entry to other attractions at a greater price but work out cheaper in the end.

After you go on the London eye...make sure you go on again at night...spectacular! I didn't find it that expensive. |

I enjoyed it, it's a bit pointless but I still liked it, give it a go, there's loads to do in that area. |

yes it's worth going on. it depends when you go as to how long you have to wait. try to go early.
Adult £13.50, Child £7.00
you can book in advance and save 10% but I didn't want to because I wanted to pick a clear day

Yeah but expensive... £18 I think..;
if in a couple you could be the second to christen it.
Also check out the view from Alexandra Palce in Norht London near Wood Green tube. (ok bus ride from there) |

We were in London two weeks ago and went for a ride on the Eye. While the view was pretty nice, I don't now if I'd necessarily recommend it. Each capsule seats 20 people, and I felt like I had to fight my way around them to check out the view.
Climbing to the top of St. Paul's Cathedral will probably offer a similar view and cost less. |

but go and do it and make a trip out of it and go to other places in london on the same day |

It's about 12 pounds and it lasts for 40 minutes
but you have 2 queues to go through first and they are one hour each......
it's a nice experiance..... but only if you have the time and money to waste!!! |
