london things to do

London Zoo is a great place to spend a day in London. Located at the north end of Regents  Park, the 35 acre site has over 750 different species of animals.

Founded in 1828, London Zoo is the oldest scientific zoo in the world. One of the most popular attraction is the Monkeys walkthrough. The enclosure houses a breeding group of black-capped squirrel monkeys in a habitat designed to recreate the Bolivian rainforests. Well as close as is possible in the centre of London!
