Sea Life London Aquarium

In addition to the hundreds of varieties of fish and sea life from all over the world, including stingrays, sharks, piranhas and sea scorpions, the recently reopened and renamed aquarium, has a new attraction, the Shark Walk, which allows visitors to walk over a floating glass platform with sharks swimming just below their feet. Californian cownose rays which swim in synchronised formation are another new feature, as is a tunnel constructed from a 25-metre-long whale skeleton, beneath which visitors can view a tropical ocean of fish, coral and green turtles. The aquarium is well placed for the attractions of the South Bank; it's right beside the London Eye and a 20-minute walk along the river from Tate Modern.
