A great day out for all ages. Compared to other aquariums I have been to I found this one slightly on the expensive side. But for a rainy day in London or just an all round treat I would definitely recommend a trip here.

Highlights for me were the ray pool, the sharks and a firm favourite, the seahorses.

I did try to return to the Aquarium for another visit earlier this year. However, my trip to London fell on a rainy bank holiday weekend and the crowds and queues were huge. I decided against visiting again with so many people all trying to get in the door (bank holidays may not be the best or easiest time to visit!).

A good tip is to buy tickets in advance through the aquarium website as you save 10% off the price.A great day out for all ages.

Possibly the best attraction in London, I know itâ¬"s really touristy but I love it.
Itâ¬"s basically a really big Ferris wheel with sealed pods that hold about 20 people or so. The pods are constantly turning you hop on at the bottom and it slowly rotates to give you an amazing view of the London skyline. You are free to move around the pod so thereâ¬"s plenty of opportunity to take in the views all around you. You can even rent a private pod for partiesâ¬" etc champagne and all. Iâ¬"ve had to entertain out of towners on several occasions and it is one attraction that never fails to impress. Itâ¬"s located on the South Bank of the Thames just along from the London Aquarium.

I love history, so travelling round London on a novel bright yellow vehicle looking at the sights was very entertaining! At the end of the sightseeing by road, the amphibious vehicle enters the Thames, and you see more sights sailing along the river.The entrance onto the Thames is the fun bit, down a slope and whoosh into the water!

I went on this tour with a party of schoolchildren and the staff were great, explaining the history of London in a very accessible way for the children, and making it fun by encouraging them to quack out of the windows as we went along. Great fun! Loved this-4 stars only because of the cost, expensive if you were to say take a family of 4 on it.I love history, so travelling round London on a novel bright yellow vehicle looking at the sights was very entertaining!

If you've got a bit of time to spare waiting for a train at Waterloo, head across the Namco at County Hall.

Namco is a large arcade on multiple levels. Whether it's a game of bowling, a dance competition, the latest shoot em up or driving game, they have a great selection. The bumper cars are always a favourite.

On the lower level is a pool hall with a small bar, however it serves Kronenberg Blanc, so top marks!

Definately worth a visit when you have a bit of spare time.

The entrance is on the river front, between Westminster Bridge and The London Eye.If you've got a bit of time to spare waiting for a train at Waterloo, head across the Namco at County Hall.

Watch Surrey cricket club play their games from as little as Â£15. This is a modern stadium set in the heart of london with the iconic gas tower overlooking the stadium. The stadium has recently been refurbished and is now very modern. The food is usual stadium food but is well priced and served with a smile!
The pitch is a good quality test match pitch. The toilets are very good and cleaned reguarly
When England play the car park can get very crowded so try and come on a train if you can! It is not cheap to park the car either!Watch Surrey cricket club play their games from as little as Â£15.
