🐧 Polar Adventure
Feel the chill with our Gentoo Penguins! The Gentoo penguin (Pygoscelis papua) is the third largest species of penguin, with only the Emperor and King penguins being larger. They are the fastest species of penguin, capable of reaching speeds of 22mph underwater.
Penguins are playful! They love to slide down icy patches on their bellies and take turns diving into the ocean. Did you know their black-and-white pattern is a form of camouflage? It helps them blend in with the water and keep them safe from predators.
🌊 Ocean Invaders
Ocean Invaders welcomes you to enter the world of Jellyfish at SEA LIFE London. Stepping into the UK's largest jellyfish experience, Ocean Invaders will take you on a journey into the fascinating world of jellyfish through three unique interactive zones.
🦈 Shark Walk
Start your visit with an unnerving walk over a glass window with incredible views into the magnificent Pacific display, where some of the most majestic creatures in the ocean swim just inches beneath your feet!
🐚 Ray Lagoon
Catch a glimpse of the beautiful creatures that inhabit the Ray Lagoon, watch them from above and also through the window below to see the mouth and gills on the underside of their bodies as they glide past you.
🐠 Coral Kingdom
A spectacle of colour has arrived here at SEA LIFE London, with the UK’s largest living coral reef being unveiled in our new Coral Kingdom.
From the moment you step into the dazzling underwater oasis, you will journey through the leafy green shallows of the Mangroves as the Coral Kingdom transitions between day and night. Prepare to see regal tangs, cardinal fish, clownfish and many more swim through our 40ft long tank.
Discover what it’s like for our creatures on the reef with our clownfish challenge as you weave, dive and shuffle your way through the reef just like our clownfish residents here.
