There is a large queue so i would book online first..but print off your confirmation , there is a seperate queue and you can get straight in. It is just like the sea life centres and the deep in Hull. Situated near london eye. More

After visiting several aquariums around the world I can say this is not one of the best. Infact it was utterly dissapointing and one of the worst by far. It was far too overcrowded with every corner holding a new money seeking attraction. The tanks were far to small, along with the actual place. This place is a complete rip... More

We were in there max 2 hours.... More

I was sort of disappointed with this aquarium due to that everything seemed to be in small tanks (apart from a few big aquatic areas with some sharks) just expected more from a place in the heart of a huge city such as London. Plus, the price was quite expensive. Been to far better aquariums. More
