Fun fact: three of the most nostalgic top London attractions – the SEA LIFE Aquarium, Shrek’s Adventure, and the London Dungeon – are all within just a minute’s walk of each other. In fact, they’re so close together that they share the same address!
This means you can treat yourself to a day trip to London and visit these nostalgic attractions in a single day. This summer, you can even hit all three at just a fraction of the price – bundle tickets are currently just £59, so it’s really the perfect way of using your adult money to bring your inner child joy.
Here’s how to visit the three London attractions in one day – and what you can expect at each one so you can plan your adventure.
First stop: SEA LIFE Aquarium
We suggest starting your adventure in London’s Southbank area with the most peaceful and relaxing activity on the list: the SEA LIFE Aquarium, where you’re transported below the ocean to discover hundreds of marine species across 14 immersive zones. Make sure to walk through the tunnels and pop your head in the domes to feel like you’ve truly dived into a magical underwater world.
You’ll also get to walk directly next to sharks and jellyfish and learn what makes each species special, as well as find out about some of the conservation efforts that are being made to ensure they continue to thrive. After a couple of hours travelling down to London, it’s the perfect activity to slow down and recharge before you hit the other attractions on the itinerary.
Second stop: Shrek’s Adventure
Head just a minute down the road from the SEA LIFE Aquarium and you’ll step into Shrek’s Adventure, the second stop on the itinerary. Here you’ll embark on a journey through the kingdom of Far Far Away to find Shrek, interacting with all of the characters from the movies along the way.
You can expect lots of hands-on activities and interactive scenes, plus plenty of songs from the iconic Shrek soundtrack. Whether you’re bringing the kids to London for the day or you’re a kid at heart longing for a nostalgic break in your routine, we can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t be entertained here.
Last stop: London Dungeon
Our final destination on our list of nostalgic London attractions is the London Dungeon, which takes you through some of the darkest stories of the Victorian era – not one for the squeamish or faint of heart.
Here you’ll encounter plague doctors, figures like Jack the Ripper, and plenty of twists and jumpscares. If you love scary setups and can’t wait for Halloween, this is the perfect activity to end your day trip to London.
