I booked for the earliest slot. It was super easy. The attractions don't take your entire day but quality and quantity is a perfect ratio. Easy booking, easy to modify times.

We had the best time , we loved all the attractions , booked the London Eye, Sea Life & Madame Tussards , all very different but a wonderful experience each time . The London Eye and Madame Tussards both very easy to access , no lines and flowed . Sea Life was a bit crowded so not as enjoyable from that perspective but from what we did see we still loved the experience.

Everything is fantastic. We were an adult and a young person, and we got caught up in the game. We were projected into the world and places of Paddington. We looked for the cups and shots like children, and the actors in the films deserve Oscars for making everything so lively and funny. Great artists. You really must go...you won't be disappointed.
