London Zoo, UK

London Zoo is the world's oldest scientific zoo founded over 180 years ago and can be found in the heart of London, in Regent's Park.

Although this zoo is located in the middle of the city it still has plenty of animals to see including lions, camels, giraffes, penguins, tigers, monkeys and meerkats. In fact there are 750 different species of animals making it one of the largest collections of animals in the UK.

The zoo is divided up into many different areas which are great fun to explore and help make it one of London's most popular tourist attractions.

Gorilla Kingdom

Gorilla Kingdom enclosure is home to a colony of Western Lowland gorillas which live together with and black and white colubus monkeys.

The African aviary is full of beautiful birds that share the Gorillas environment and there is also a monitor lizard and other animals from Africa.

Butterfly Paradise

As visitors walk through this area they are surrounded by beautiful free flying butterflies and moths from Africa, South-east Asia and Central and South America, seeking out plants on which to feed and rest.

There is a pupae holding room where visitors can see the pupae develop into butterflies and eventually emerge helping to learn more about their life cycles.

Lions and Tigers

London Zoo is home to a family of Asian lions and pair of Sumatran tigers and visitors can get very close to the Zoo’s beautiful but endangered wild cats.

Aquarium

The Aquarium is also split into three areas and features many beautiful, exotic and weird fish and a stunning coral reef.

Other new exhibits include the tropical biome, tropical bird walk through and insects exhibit

There are several places where you can purchase food and drink and souvenirs can be purchased in the gift shop.

London Zoo is located at the North end of Regent's Park, a 10 minute walk through the park from Regent's Park tube station on the Bakerloo line or a shorter walk from Camden Town tube station on the Northern Line.
