Sea Life in London is divided into several areas. Each of these areas represents a different biotope such as rivers or oceans. There is a very large aquarium that simulates the existing conditions in the habitat of the Thames. Other ecosystems are presented in aquariums containing an impressive variety of fish and other animals such as octopus, squid or jellyfish.
The biggest attraction is represented by a huge aquarium with sharks and stingrays. Another impressive aquarium is the one that presents the habitat from the Indian Ocean where you can find other stingrays, sea anemones, sharks and colourful fish specific to this area.
Sharks are the most popular among tourists who flock to see these dangerous animals but piranha, crocodiles or seahorses attract tourists' attention as well. Stingrays are popular especially among children because they can even pat them in a special aquarium.
