Sea Life London Aquarium is set to close its indoor penguin enclosure and move its gentoo penguins to a new location, with the closure date reported as 2028. The Evening Standard and other outlets say the birds will relocate to a bigger venue in Birmingham, where the enclosure is described as having fresh air.
Coverage also reflects the dispute around keeping penguins indoors. One outlet links the closure to backlash and quotes animal welfare campaigners who react positively to the change, saying the move involves a larger, more environmentally enriched enclosure. Other reports focus more directly on the timetable and relocation plan, without detailing the welfare arguments in the available summaries. Across the sources, the central points are the closure of the indoor enclosure, the 2028 timeframe, and the planned transfer to Birmingham with environmental upgrades.
