You don't need to book in advance if you go off peak. Or queue for very long. We discovered this on the first day of our trip to Londinium. Having dumped our bags, we were off out to look for adventures and explore our capital city. It was our daughter's first visit, so this excursion to The London Eye was an orientation and welcome to the city. You can see for miles. Once she'd recovered from the dizzy heights of it all, she was up at the window of our capsule, asking what all the different buildings were. At the top we were 135 metres from the ground. It was late afternoon but the sun was still shining for us, dazzling me as I tried and failed to get a decent photo of Big Ben with my zoom. On the way down we posed for our photo, taken by computer. Us from the outside. We saw ourselves on the big screen in the gift shop but didn't buy it. Outside, we relaxed in Jubilee Gardens then went for a wander. We all quite liked this unhurried version of London we'd discovered.
