Tour Options
Itinerary
The mysterious Sea Life London Aquarium experience is spread over three floors and starts by taking a submarine-style elevator to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. Next, take a walk through the stunning glass tunnel underneath a tropical ocean. There is plenty of interaction along the way, from diving displays to optional touch pools and discovery zones. Other species you can see include green turtles, seahorses, octopus, zebra sharks and the ever-popular clown fish. The true highlight starts as you journey in the deeper, darker zone of the Pacific Ocean. Take a walk on the wild side and watch from a suspended glass platform as 10 species of shark swim beneath your feet. The exciting and diverse underwater world awaits you at Sea Life London Aquarium. One of the most popular and dramatic displays at Sea Life London Aquarium is the revamped Shark Reef Encounter where sinister Sand Tiger sharks, Bow Mouths, Black Tips and Grey Reefs are (with a shoal of less menacing fish to keep them company!). Get closer to some of the world’s biggest creepy crawlies in new interactive displays that allows 360° views of the most infamous jungle inhabitants in new Rainforest Adventure!

It is really worth and go with your kids, it will be lots of fun and can see many creatures and gets good learning opportunities as well
The SEA LIFE London Aquarium offers a surprisingly engaging journey through aquatic ecosystems, especially given its central location and high visitor throughput. From a zoological perspective, the strength of the experience lies in its structured progression through habitats, from freshwater species to coral reef systems and deep-sea environments. The displays are clearly designed with education in mind, and the interpretive material does a solid job of explaining ecological relationships, adaptations, and conservation issues such as overfishing and habitat degradation. The ocean tunnel is a particular highlight, providing a compelling sense of immersion as sharks and rays pass overhead. While the space can feel busy at peak times, the overall layout remains coherent and easy to navigate, which helps maintain a sense of discovery rather than crowding. The emphasis on conservation messaging is consistent throughout, and there is a clear effort to link charismatic species with broader environmental themes. Some enclosures are necessarily constrained due to the urban setting, but the aquarium makes good use of available space and presentation techniques to maximise visibility and educational value. Overall, it’s a worthwhile visit for anyone interested in marine biology, ecology, or simply seeing a well-presented snapshot of aquatic life from around the world.
Hello , Wow! What a great review! We’re so pleased to hear that you had such a kraken great time during your visit and we certainly hope we can welcome you back again soon. Many tanks,
Absolutely horrible experience. Dark, cramped and felt sad for the poor wildlife. Completely claustrophobic in there and penguins should most definitely not be kept in an aquarium. They belong in the wild. Avoid and safe your money.
Lots of interesting fish, nice atmosphere (lighting and music). You can take a break from the city and relax.

Ranger Annie made this visit special for my daughter . My daughter was dressed up as an axolotl as she’s crazy about them , it was also her birthday. Ranger Annie noticed my daughter and started talking to her and invited her behind the scenes to see the axolotls , which she did during her break! It was such a kind thing to do ! Thank you

Boring, empty, and overpriced. What happened to the London Aquarium? It used to have great tanks, but now it's mostly just plain walls. I took my daughter here for her 16th birthday and we were all thoroughly disappointed. Very few tanks, uninteresting displays, and a very sad-looking penguin enclosure where the animals just look cooped up. Even the VR was poor. It felt like even the fish were bored! Definitely not worth the high ticket price.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. We’re sorry to hear that you felt disappointed in your recent experience on this occasion. We would be keen to know how we could have improved your experience. Please do contact us directly for more information
This was a pleasant surprise, really interesting. Well kept clean place and fish etc all looked healthy. Helpful staff as we had 2 buggies. Early morning is best as later on school parties were arriving
Well Shello There, Tanks for your review! We’re eel-y pleased to hear that you had such a great time during your visit and made the most out of exploring all our wonderful habitats. We shore hope to sea you again in the future for even more discoveries.
It's dark, crowded and mostly for kids. There was very little educational information about the fish.
A real visit of contrasts - some of the exhibits were really good, but some were in the need of TLC. The penguins were particularly underwhelming/disappointing. The number of school groups did make for a noisy visit and some difficulty viewing the aquariums - but the kids were excited to be there, so that's great.
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to review us. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit. As an educational attraction we do often have visiting school groups that come along as part of their curriculum. Most school groups tend to visit in the morning, so to best avoid schools we would generally recommend visiting from 2pm onwards.
