Set in leafy Regent's Park amid heritage-listed buildings and beautiful gardens, London Zoo is an oasis in the heart of the capital with over 10,000 amazing animals to discover.

The Zoo’s biggest experience, Land of the Lions, gives visitors the chance to get closer than ever before to the mighty Asiatic lions – of which only 400 remain in the wild. Visitors can explore walkways covering the 2,500 square meter Indian-themed exhibit.

Come face-to-face with one of nature’s most awesome predators in Tiger Territory, learn about the natural behaviors of Sumatran tigers and discover the conservation issues these creatures face in the wild.

Go on a journey high into the treetops to meet a variety of amazing species at Rainforest Life (London’s only living rainforest). Then meet the creatures who only come out in the dark in the amazing nocturnal experience, Night Life.

Visitors will love heading down to the beach to watch our colony of Humboldt penguins dive, swim, frolic and feed in England's largest penguin pool, complete with large underwater viewing windows. And step Into Africa to observe the elegance and grace of the giraffes before moving on to the magnificent residents of Gorilla Kingdom.

London Zoo facts

• There are several listed buildings at London Zoo including a traditional grade I listed telephone box at Penguin Beach and the giraffe house – a grade II listed building and the oldest in the world. 
• The Casson elephant house’s roof was designed by Sir Hugh Casson. The design portrays a herd of elephants drinking from a watering hole.
• Winnie-the-Pooh was inspired by a real-life black bear that lived at London Zoo from 1914 until her death in 1934. She was tame, enjoyed being handled, and was loved by all - you'll find a statue dedicated to her in the zoo.
