Join the experts at work behind the scenes at sea life London Aquarium

A new Behind the Scenes Tour at the SEA LIFE London Aquarium exposes the attraction's inner workings and whisks guests "behind the glass" to discover what it takes to keep one of Europe's biggest aquariums running smoothly. Touring the areas where the dedicated aquarists actually work, there is plenty of hands on interaction and Q&As along the way.
The forty minute tour takes guests through the three main areas at the heart of the SEA LIFE London Aquarium — Creature Care and Research, Food Preparation and Water Management. Housed deep in the cavernous County Hall building on the banks of the Thames and only an 8m brick wall separates the working space from the River.

Pottery School Opening

We were delighted to welcome Kate Hoey MP who officially opened the County Hall Pottery on Monday 9th January in the presence of the Minister for Japan and other distinguished visitors. The ceremony began with an outstanding performance of traditional Japanese drumming from another new addition to the County Hall family, the Zen Musicians. As she cut the ribbon, Ms Hoey expressed her admiration for this magnificent new development and the sensitive way in which is integrated into the existing architecture of County Hall.
