Staff braved heights to reach the pods and ensure the glass on each capsule was washed and polished.
Imran Tauqir, general manager at the lastminute.com London Eye, said: “Keeping every pane of glass in our pods gleaming all year round is vital so we can ensure our visitors can take in the full majesty of our world-famous views across the capital.
“2023 is set to be a big year for us, with London forecast to receive 21.6 million visitors across the year.
“We’re looking forward to a spring season of celebration in the capital, thanks to Easter, the Coronation and an extra bank holiday.
“As the UK’s most popular paid-for attraction we’re looking forward to welcoming guests from far and wide to join in the festivities.”
The landmark was also cleaned to ensure visitors have a clear view of the King’s coronation on May 6.
