SEA LIFE London Aquarium
A County Hall aquarium with sharks, rays, penguins and a glass-floor walkway — a reliable rainy-day option for families.
The call
Skip it unless this is central to the trip.
Why
- 01
Little kids are entranced by the shark tunnel and the touch pools, and it's all indoors and step-free.
Our read - 02
The honest catch: it's compact, expensive for what it is, and adults without children will see everything in well under an hour.
