Yes, the London Eye is iconic. But have you watched a toddler’s face when they spot a double-decker bus parked at a bus stop? Pure magic, zero ticket needed. Honestly, sometimes the best thing is to just hop on a bus route like the 11 or 159—it’s a cheap tour, and you can jump off when someone needs a loo (or a cake).
Pro tip: If you’re doing the Eye, book a time slot right before sunset. The lighting makes everyone look like they’re in a movie, and the kids get sleepy enough not to argue. Win-win.
