ZSL London Zoo

ZSL London Zoo is one of the oldest zoos and the oldest active scientific zoo in the world.

This zoological park, located in the city center of the English capital (within Regent's Park), is home to about 15,000 animals - more than 600 species - and covers an area of 15 hectares.

Founded by the Zoological Society of London, it was initially intended for the scientific study of the animal kingdom. When it opened on April 27, 1828, it took in animals from the former Royal Menagerie in the Tower of London.

From the Lion Territory (where interactive activities are led by zoo veterinarians) to the Reptile House* (home to the world's largest collection of poisonous snakes and reptiles of the United Kingdom), passing by the penguin beach (where you can attend the feeding of the penguins, twice a day): the London Zoo will soon have no more secrets for you!

You will also come across gorillas, monkeys, giraffes, tigers, zebras, hippos, turtles, spiders, fish, exotic birds, insects, butterflies, etc.

* The famous scene takes place at London Zoo where Harry Potter drops his cousin Dudley into a vivarium!
