ZSL London Zoo is the world's oldest scientific zoo, located in the heart of Regent's Park in London and home to nearly 15,000 animals representing over 750 species. Founded in 1847, the zoo is operated by the Zoological Society of London, a global conservation charity celebrating 200 years of pioneering wildlife science. Iconic exhibits include Land of the Lions, featuring rare Asiatic lions, Penguin Beach with an underwater viewing experience, and the newly opened Monkey Valley, which recreates a Central African forest environment. Animal Adventure provides dedicated children's play and discovery areas, while daily talks and keeper encounters bring visitors closer to the natural world. Every visit contributes to ZSL's vital global conservation work protecting habitats and endangered species.
