Disadvantages: A little pricey!, Dark at some points

If you like fish, this is a place not to be missed.
If you live in London or not, you must try and see the Aquarium, it is brilliant.

It is right by the London Eye so directions to it should be okay, or if you use the tube, Westminster is the best stop.

You start off by walking in and there is this Ford Ka in the entrance way.
Un be known to me, until later it has actually been converted into a mini aquarium.
All the windows have been sealed up and it is filled with rocks and water with fish inside it.
You can look through the windows and see all around.
That alone was well worth a look and a photo.
Entrance into the aquarium was quick even though it was fairly busy!
It cost £8.50 per adult which I thought was a little expensive but at the end it was well worth it.

There are hundreds of fish there, from carp to sea horses, from sting rays to sharks.
The shark pool was busy and I can see why.
It is a huge pool about 40 ft deep and there are about 4 viewing pods all at different levels.
There are brown sharks, tigers sharks, leopard sharks and sting rays all in the same tank, with Easter Island statues in there too.
They will come right up to the glass, which is probably about 40cm thick!
That was amazing!!

Next were more fish, crabs, lobsters and then the sting rays.
This was packed.
It is a huge open top shallow(ish) pool with loads of sting rays.
Everyone was around the edge and with wet hands you are able to stroke the sting rays and touch them.
That was incredible!!

You could spend a good few hours in there easy and is a definite attraction to see.
The restaurant/cafe at the side is also nice but expensive though!
