This is a store I heard of a while ago and I was interested to make a quick visit. It's in Central London in between Oxford Circus and Regent's Park, on Great Portland Street. Being a Sunday, it was crowded as all hell but it was still an enjoyable visit. They had a decent selection of coldwater and freshwater fish but their saltwater section was the most breathtaking. They had a ton of corals to choose from and all the fish you could want. There were a few tropical species which you don't see very often as well. Equipment was as standard, they had a decent selection of rocks and wood though it was expensive and they only really had red moor to choose from. I managed to find one piece of bogwood which I also ended up buying

What impressed me the most is that they asked people general questions about their tanks before they were able to buy fish. I overheard one of the workers asking a family how big their tank is, what other fish inhabit the tank, how often they change the water etc. It's not something you see very often in fish stores. The display tanks were fabulous, and the service was fine. A bit expensive, but definitely worth visiting.

Discovery in Dundee ask these questions and refuse sales to people buying large amounts of fish or fish not suitable for there fish tanks. He says he'd rather get someone annoyed over no sale of fish than someone posting bad reviews about his store because there fish died.
 
Amazing tanks for that place though.
 
Excellent pics :)
 
Think am definitely going to visit that place next time am in London
