About London Zoo
London Zoo is run by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), which is an international conservation charity, working hard to protect species around the world. In 2026 the ZSL will celebrate its 200th anniversary; London Zoo itself will celebrate in 2028. With an emphasis on science and conservation, today the London Zoo's ethos is much more on educating people to protect species internationally, and your ticket donation contributes to this cause.
In terms of your day out there is plenty to see; with different routes to explore various animals from around the world. Extra experiences such as feeding times, shows and demonstrations, as well as seasonal events, remain a popular part of your day out.
London Zoo is located in Regent's Park, one of the Royal Parks not far from Camden Town at the northern part of central London.

London Zoo - what will I see?
ZSL London Zoo has almost 750 species of animal, from the smallest monkey to the tall giraffe. Like zoos the world over, London Zoo has undergone a raft of changes to bring down the bars and allow visitors to get closer to the animals. London Zoo's reptile house is of course, the location of filming of the first Harry Potter film.
There are also birds, butterflies, giraffes, zebras, and all other shapes and sizes of the world's creatures.
At the London Zoo you can enjoy a variety of up close encounters with your favourite animals with daily shows, live feeds and demonstrations, as you would expect from a world class zoo.
Experiences - buy a gift day for a truly memorable day out
London Zoo also offer you the chance to purchase experience opportunities which range in price depending on length of time. For example, you can currently feed the gorillas for as little as around £15 per person, or you can purchase a 'Junior Keeper for the Day', which will cost you a lot more.
London Zoo - opening times and location
Opening times
ZSL London Zoo is open from 10am every day of the year (except Christmas Day) with seasonal closing times between 4pm and 6pm Last admittance is one hour before closing.
Location
The London Zoo is located to the north of the very centre of London where most attractions are. The London Zoo site is at the northern end of Regent's Park, one of London's several very large Royal Parks.
The zoo straddles the Regent's Canal along which boat trips are available. You can walk along the canal to Camden Lock, one of London's most visited markets. Madame Tussauds is on the opposite side of Regent's Park and Primrose Hill another area of parkland that extends seamlessly north of Regent's Park has splendid views of the London skyline.
Nearest Underground station
ZSL London Zoo is within walking distance of Camden Town (15mins) and Regent's Park (20 mins) stations. Camden Town is on the Northern Line, Regent's Park (Bakerloo Line).
You can also get the 274 London bus from Baker Street Underground (Circle, District, Bakerloo, Metropolitan and Jubilee Line) to a stop outside the zoo.
Hop-on, hop-off buses
None of London's hop on, hop off sightseeing buses have stops at London Zoo. You can get off at Baker Street (the stop for Madame Tussauds) and get the 274 London bus to the zoo or it is a 20 minute walk across Regent's Park.
London Zoo - tickets

'Peak' tickets are at weekends in the spring and summer months and during the school holidays.
