Owners says
“Located on the popular South bank of the River Thames, within the historic County Hall building, SEA LIFE London Aquarium is home to one of Europe’s largest collections of global marine life and the jewel in the crown of the UK SEA LIFE attractions.”
The Aquarium is a very popular attraction and gets extremely busy in school holidays and weekends. Make sure you have lots of water with you and take toddlers and pre-schoolers during term time. It’s dark inside and can feel hot and stuffy when it’s packed with people.
