Where is London Zoo?

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 15,000 amazing animals to discover.

Feel closer to nature at London Zoo, a ZSL conservation zoo in the heart of one of the world’s most vibrant capital cities. Discover amazing wildlife, learn how the team are protecting their future and share incredible memories of our leaping, roaring, squawking natural world.

What animals are in London Zoo?

London Zoo is home to almost 15,000 animals. 

  • The Zoo’s biggest experience, Land of the Lions, gives you the chance to get closer than ever before to the mighty Asiatic lions – of which only 400 remain in the wild. You can explore walkways covering the 2,500sqm Indian-themed exhibit. 
  • Monkey Valley, newly opened in August 2022, will transport you to the lush mountainous forest of Central Africa, against the backdrop of a 30ft waterfall and peaceful lagoon. Get ready to step into the action and experience a troop of gravity-defying, 'high-flying' colobus monkeys leaping, lounging, swinging, and snoozing, in their new tree-top inspired habitat.
  • Come face-to-face with one of nature’s most awesome predators in Tiger Territory, learn about the natural behaviours of Sumatran tigers and discover the conservation issues these creatures face in the wild.
  • Tiny Giants is a celebration of all things small but mighty, and the sometimes strange but always wonderful world of invertebrates. Also home to a brand-new coral reef tank, this indoor experience is one not to be missed.
  • You’ll love heading down to the beach to watch the 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.
