Trains to the London Eye
The nearest train station to the London Eye is London Waterloo Rail Station. Waterloo is about five minutes walking distance from the London Eye although for the quickest route we recommend taking exit six for the South Bank and following the signs. The London Eye is located on the South Bank of the Thames, opposite the Houses of Parliament.
The London Eye is one of the key landmarks of the capital's cityscape and attracts a whopping 3.8 million visitors annually. It is Europe's tallest Ferris wheel overlooking the Thames and rises 135m in the air.
