Review of London Aquarium

Touch a sting ray! 
I went to Egypt a few months ago, the snorkeling was amazing, so many brightly coloured fish. As the summer here has been so miserable and wet, we decided to go to the aquarium to "re-live" the snorkeling of our holiday.
I've not been to an aquarium before, so cannot compare London to any others. But it was a good laugh. We spend an 1hr 1/2, wandering around looking at the sharks, rays and tropical fish. We posed for a photo which we picked up as a fridge magnet. Bit tacky but had to be done. The best bit was the sting-ray touching pool. A large shallow pool, where you can put your hand into the water and stroke the rays. They are like little tarts, dashing over to your hand to be pet. Reminding me of puppies wanting attention.
Great place for a date. Or to take children. Don't bother buying the brochure, not worth it.
Avoid school holidays, we went on a Sunday which had plenty of tourists and families, but we coped. In the week would be best if you can do it.
