London Aquarium reviews



I was so disappointed by this aquarium! It was small and badly managed, the fish tanks were dirty and the displays were poor. It would have been OK for a fiver but for £12.50 it was a joke. The Sealife Centre in Brighton all the way!

There is so much to see and, for the kids, lots to touch in the petting area, which is a shallow water pool housing starfish and other creatures. This is a fantastic venue for kids and adults alike. At certain times you can observe the staff diving and feeding the sharks and stingray, which is quite exciting!

Personally, I think it's great! I love the stingray pit where you can stroke and 'pet' them. A must visit if you're in London for the day.

The fish petting pool is a must. A map in the visitors guide would help - just so you could find out where the toilets are!

One to take the kids to, definitely. There is a great rock-pool room where young ones love to snoop and peer at the starfish, crustaceans etc. And then there are the sharks. Gulp!
