I started visiting Lynchford Aquatics as a kid, when I got an aquarium for my birthday. I think I…read morewas around 12 years old. Now, approaching 30 years later, I'm taking my kids there. The shop has, of course, changed a lot since then but then as well as now can be described as offering some of the broadest range of aquarium products of any small aquatics shop I have seen. The range is very specialised to tropical fishkeeping and the long experience of the owners shows in the choice of brands (i.e. reliability and appropriateness is valued over price) Most of the staff have been there for many years and are very helpful and knowledgeable. Newer / younger staff seem to have been well trained. The quality of the fish and aquatic plants is high (I can only speak for the freshwater fish, they sell marine as well) and there's a good range of live food available. The shop can get very busy at the weekend, but it is always well staffed; how many small shops have 3-4 people on hand?

I highly recommend this place…read more Despite the look of this stores website - which looks high end and expensive - this aquarium store is great and is not that expensive. I recently purchase an aquarium, the necessary paraphernalia and (after having cycled my tank off course) a red and white fantail goldfish (called "Mo"). The staff were really really nice and very helpful...I cannot rave about it enough. They have lots of choice too (fish / plant / tank etc).

While prices for us Yanks are expensive everywhere in London, this place is no exception. HOWEVER, the customer service is EXCELLENT!!! The fish & corals ALL look healthy & happy, & I've been reefing for years! As online stores take over, retails stores dwindle. It's even happening in the States. That's why it's so important to support your local store so they can stay in business!! Thanks to all of the staff at ADC, for being so kind & patient with me!! If I could, I'd bring home the baby boxfish today. No really, I would!! Have you seen him? Well, hurry up & get in there before someone buys him!

This is a fantastic place to head to for anything cold-blooded! They have an amazing selection of…read moretanks, food and pretty much anything you're after in the aquarium and pond supply realm. We recently invested in a beautiful array of tropical fish to brighten up our living room and as we were novices to the whole thing, they were really helpful and intuitive to our needs. They now have a really interesting reptile section with some dangerous looking snakes available and some very friendly looking baby Horsefields tortoises.
