SEA LIFE London Aquarium

SEA LIFE London Aquarium is one of Europe's largest aquariums, located in the heart of London on the iconic South Bank next to the London Eye. The aquarium houses over 500 species across 14 themed zones, offering an immersive underwater journey from British rivers to tropical reefs. The Pacific Ocean exhibit features a spectacular glass tunnel walkway where visitors are surrounded by sharks, rays, and tropical fish swimming overhead - a truly mesmerizing experience. The Shark Walk allows brave visitors to walk on a glass floor above sharks and rays, offering a unique perspective. The Ray Lagoon features an interactive touch pool where children can gently touch rays as they glide past. The Atlantic Coast exhibit showcases penguins in a recreated rocky shoreline habitat, while the Rainforest Adventure takes visitors through a tropical environment with piranhas, poison dart frogs, and caimans. The Ocean Invaders section explores jellyfish in stunning lit displays that highlight their ethereal beauty. The Ocean Tunnel is the aquarium's signature feature - a curved glass tunnel providing 360-degree views of sharks, turtles, and hundreds of fish. Educational talks throughout the day cover topics from shark conservation to seahorse biology. The aquarium participates in global conservation programs and uses interactive displays to educate visitors about marine protection. With its central London location, climate-controlled environment, and relatively compact size, it's perfect for a half-day visit and easily combined with other South Bank attractions.
