London Zoo, found in Regents Park is perhaps one of the most famous, and the most forgotten zoo in existence. Many Londoners have memories of visiting it as a child, but then don't visit it again until they have children themselves. It was nearly closed some time ago but thankfully is still open to the public.
Features:
- Bear mountain,
- A large aquarium,
- Children’s zoo,
- Many big cats in cleverly designed eye ball to eye ball bar less enclosures, penguin pool,
- The elephant house is now devoid of elephants as it doesn’t come up to today’s requirements.
- Nocturnal Animals house which has lighting controlled to make the animals think its night time and worth coming out on show,
- Reptile house ( where Harry Potter is said to have first spoken to a snake)
- Chimps and Gorillas in somewhat cramped quarters.
Besides the website for the zoo here is another website on their "Web of Life" exhibition.

A pleasant day out may be had by taking a boat trip on the Regent's Canal direct to the Zoo from Little Venice or Camden Lock.
