London Eye - what is the best time of day to visit in Late April?

We will be in London in late April and want to do the London Eye. I read somewhere that mornings and evenings are the best time to avoid the large crowds. I have also read that London can be foggy in the morning w/ limited visibility. We obviously want good visibility. Can anyone recommend the best time of day to visit in late April?

Thank you.

I'd decide on the day, for the reasons above, or at most the evening before.

Just don't forget Easter and the associated holidays are in late April this year.

Both times that I have done the London Eye, I have gone in the evening and done the champagne experience. You get a glass while aboard to sip as you look at the view. Best way to do it IMO.

Sunset is a good time to go as even on cloudy days, once the sun starts to go down there's often a brief period where it's below the cloud and the visibility is very good.

Agree that close to sunset it’s gorgeous. When we were there in January, the sun set at 4:30. We went at 4:00. The sun was setting and colors of the buildings and sky were beautiful. It was not crowded.
