At night the London Eye is great to photograph and from the angle below you may run into other Instagram photographers. The London Eye is often moving (but slowly), so if you want an image showing motion then use a long exposure. If you want to have detail in the wheel and pods, then use a faster shutter speed, increase your ISO or wait for it to pause (or close).

Although we prefer the night view, it’s worth noting that The London Eye does also look good during the day and a nice daytime angle is from Jubille Park and Garden which is right next to it.
