SEA LIFE London Aquarium
South Bank, London, United Kingdom
Review
Dark, immersive and perfectly sized for a half-day. Toddlers go quiet in the tunnel; older kids clock the sharks. It is central, so you can bolt on the London Eye or a river walk.
Our recommendation. Book a timed slot. Combine with a sandwich on the South Bank rather than the on-site cafe.
