Groups can now enjoy a traditional afternoon tea experience aboard the London Eye, with each capsule seating up to ten guests for two rotations offering views of Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and other iconic landmarks.
Seating up to ten guests in each pod, visitors will enjoy two rotations, taking in views of the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace, among other sights, whilst tucking into a traditional afternoon tea.
Each pod seats up to ten people, with groups able to book out whole pods privately. Tickets for the afternoon tea experience also include priority boarding, with guests recommended to arrive at least 30 minutes early.
Robin Goodchild, senior general manager of the London Eye said: “We’re delighted to launch our Afternoon Tea experience. Afternoon tea is a cherished British tradition, and now visitors can savour this quintessentially English ritual with a truly unique twist.
“Nowhere else can you sip a cup of Earl Grey while soaring above Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and St Paul’s. It’s the ultimate way to toast London, and we can’t wait to welcome guests onboard for this unforgettable experience.”
What’s included?
The afternoon tea includes freshly prepared favourites, such as cucumber and cream cheese finger sandwiches, delicate miniature lemon meringue tarts and scones with jam and clotted cream. A glass of champagne can also be added at an extra cost and vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options are also available.
A dedicated host will be onboard the capsule to deliver the experience, share insight and knowledge about the landmarks on view and provide tips for the best photo opportunities.
