The London Aquarium is situated in the old County Hall, which housed the Greater London Council until Margaret Thatcher disbanded it in 1985. Ultimately a huge new aquarium is going to be opened in the Docklands, but for the time being this is the biggest aquarium in the capital.
The displays are housed on three levels. With everything from specimens that live in British waters and rivers, to species from around the world and huge shark tanks, this has everything that you would expect from an Aquarium in a capital city. There are also some interactive displays and tanks where children can touch the fish.
The Aquarium is open daily from 10am-6pm. Admission costs around £7 for adults. There is a shop and a cafeteria available.
