Getting there
SEA LIFE London Aquarium is located on the South bank of the river Thames, within the County Hall building. We are situated right next to the London Eye, just over Westminster Bridge from Big Ben and The Houses of Parliament.
Opening hours
The aquarium opening times vary through the year, we recommend checking our opening and closing times before visiting. *Please note our education rates are not available on weekends and on specific dates during the 2024/2025 academic year.
