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

The place is really crowded. I went two times and I could only enter the second cause the line was really long. The are a lot of people with children which makes the place a bit hard to walk and too loud. The strollers drive you crazy!!!!!! If you want to see or even learn about sea life I would... 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

Lots of marine animals to discover, you can touch a starfish and hold a crab as well as see lots of different fish. A great day out for children as well as adults. More

We thought this would be good for our little one to see. While there was some neat stuff that kept his interest, our aquarium back home seemed better. We figured that an aquarium in London would have been better overall. More
