Why Visit the London Aquarium?
Nothing quite rivals the tranquillity of life underwater when it comes to getting away from the hectic pace and noise of London’s centre. Situated right in the heart of the city, the aquarium offers tourists something that little bit different and guarantees to be a memorable day out. Not merely an oversized goldfish bowl, the attraction is located across three floors and 14 different zones, including freshwater stream, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, coral reef and rainforest. As such, it provides a fascinating insight into the sheer variety of aquatic life, though for most visitors, the highlight will be the Pacific Ocean tank, home to Sand Tiger Sharks, Nurse Sharks and Brown Sharks. In addition, visitors are encouraged to get hands-on at the Ray Touch Pool, safe in the knowledge that their entrance fee is helping to fund vital research into some of the world’s most endangered and little-understood creatures.
