It's best to play it by ear and go on a day (or evening) when you are there. Day or night is chalk and cheese.........you can see everything clearly during daylight but not at night, however, London at night is twinkly and lovely. If this is your first visit go up in the day light hours.
Sunset is one of the most beautiful times to go up to the London Eye. If you are sure you want to visit the attraction just at that time, first I recommend that you make sure when the sunset occurs in London, as this phenomenon varies depending on the time of year and month.
You can also combine a ride on the London Eye with a guided boat tour. Standard admission for adults starts at 25.50 pounds (around $32); children get discounted tickets.
