SEA LIFE London Aquarium, located next to the London Eye on the South Bank, is one of the UK’s largest aquariums, home to thousands of marine creatures across three floors. Visitors can explore immersive exhibits including the Ocean Tunnel, Penguin Point and Rainforest Adventure, featuring sharks, rays, turtles, penguins and tropical species. Interactive displays, touch pools and educational talks throughout the day make it a popular indoor attraction for families and visitors of all ages.
The aquarium is mobility friendly, with step free access and lift access to all floors, allowing wheelchair users and visitors with mobility aids to explore most exhibits. Ramps are available where needed, and seating areas are located throughout the attraction for visitors who may require rest breaks. Accessible toilets are located in multiple areas within the aquarium and include grab rails, lowered wash basins, wide doorways and emergency pull cords. Assistance dogs are permitted throughout the venue.
SEA LIFE London also offers accessibility support for visitors with sensory needs, including regular “Quiet at the Aquarium” sessions and optional lanyards for guests who may require additional assistance. Some areas have low lighting, enclosed tunnels or uneven flooring, and alternative routes can be provided on request. Free carer entry is available for eligible visitors with valid proof of disability.
While there is no dedicated onsite parking, nearby car parks such as Q-Park Westminster provide accessible parking within walking distance, and the route to the aquarium is mostly level.
With lift access, accessible facilities and sensory friendly visiting options, SEA LIFE London Aquarium provides a mobility friendly and accessible indoor attraction in central London.
