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 (voted 15th in the "50 best modern buildings in Britain" by Channel 4/English Heritage
  • 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.
