Finding Nemo... Not that hard, actually! The closest train station to the London Aquarium
So, you've decided to dive into the deep blue (well, not that deep, it's an aquarium) and see some amazing aquatic life at the London Aquarium. But first things first: how on earth do you get there? Fear not, intrepid explorer, for I, your friendly neighbourhood travel guru, am here to guide you!
Trainspotting for fishies: Waterloo takes the crown!
While there are a few stations vying for the title of closest chum chum (that's fish friend, for the landlubbers out there), the undisputed king of the aquatic commute is Waterloo Station.
Why Waterloo? It's simple really. Waterloo is a major hub, connecting you to pretty much everywhere in the South West of England. Plus, it's a mere 9-minute walk from the Aquarium itself. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
Top tip: Follow the signs for the "South Bank" exit (sounds fancy, right?) and then keep your eyes peeled for the London Eye. The Aquarium is right next door, so you can't miss it!
Alternative routes: Charing Cross chimes in (but not as close)
If Waterloo isn't on your route, fear not! Charing Cross Station is another option. It's a bit of a trek further (we're talking a leisurely stroll over Hungerford Bridge), but it's a great option if you're coming from the South East. Just follow the signs for Jubilee Gardens and keep an eye out for the Aquarium on your left-hand side.
Remember: While Charing Cross is doable, Waterloo is definitely the winner in the proximity race.
So, you've got your station sorted, what's next?
Now that you know where to disembark your train, you're ready to unleash your inner Jacques Cousteau and explore the underwater world! Just remember to brush up on your "fin-tastic" facts (get it?) to impress your fellow aquarium adventurers.
