Review of Waterloo Railway Station
03 May 08, 11:04
An institution! 
The scale of Waterloo is astounding, as Faith says it gives you access to many destinations especially the nice beachy provinces of the South coast. I am upset that they moved the Eurostar away from here to Kings Cross, I think Waterloo was a fine home for it and the relocation was another tiresome waste of money. It has so many shops and a good few cash points, that you won't get bored even if you have ages to wait for a train. The only thing is, it takes forever to get through the platform gates. People, rather than machines, check your tickets (really annoying when it comes to manual oyster readers which take more than 3 seconds to operate!) and the gates are badly managed, they could do a better job of managing people travelling in one door and out of the adjacent. Or if using one door - making people wait until disembarking passengers have exited before letting the new boarders in. Instead, they let everyone jam through in both directions. Apart from that, it's fine! There are ticket selling machines and windows galore and station information agents everywhere too.

Review of London Aquarium
18 Apr 08, 13:03
Brilliant Aquarium 
The London Aquarium is awesome in its design. Upon going in you have a Ford Ka which is filled with water and marine fish…very cool! They may have updated the car now as this is an old model – but I haven’t been for a few years. What I know will not have changed is the huge aquarium rooms which take your breath away. They are about 3 storeys high and massive in volume, and give the appearance of hidden, forgotten underwater caves, with gargantuan statues of Mayan-style heads embedded in the ground. They have so many species of underwater life – this is a really great place to learn about marine life, it is something the South Bank should be most proud of, much more than the London Eye!
