Rainy Day Activities: Enter an underwater world at Sea Life London

Southbank, London

Step out of the rain and head underwater at Sea Life London Aquarium, and discover a whole world of aquatic life.

With 40 different sharks and thousands of other shimmering, glimmering underwater creatures, Sea Life London is one of the UK's most popular indoor attractions.

You’ll find them floating about in 14 specially themed zones, spread over three floors – from the Rainforests of the World (home to two highly endangered Cuban crocodiles) to the thrilling Shark Walk (a glass windowed corridor with a variety of sharks swimming just below your feet), there's plenty to explore and discover under one roof.

There are also opportunities to get hands on with some of the friendlier creatures; head to the Rockpool to give crabs, anemones and starfish a stroke while learning more about their habitats and personalities. And of course, no visit to Sea Life is complete without a trip through the iconic Ocean Tunnel; an immersive glass tunnel which takes you right through the heart of the aquarium.

Tickets to Sea Life London are available through the website, and can be bought as part of a deal with other popular attractions including the London Eye and Madame Tussauds.
