Skip the Line! Book London Zoo tickets ahead of time to take advantage of jumping the queue. ZSL London Zoo was the world’s first scientific zoo, and opened in 1827.

Charles Darwin was a fellow of the Zoo and visited regularly. Follow in Darwin's footsteps with a visit to ZSL London Zoo –

• Observe the behavior of our award winning apes in Gorilla Kingdom
• Visit the fantastic new Blackburn Pavilion and learn how Darwin’s contemporary, John Gould, identified differences between species of finches that Darwin brought back from the Galapagos’, helping Darwin formulate his theories on evolution.   While you are there, don’t miss out on the only hummingbirds in the UK in a free-flying walkthrough environment
• Enter the hot and humid Amazonian Clore Rainforest Lookout biome and discover a world of free roaming monkeys, birds and two-toed sloths living in harmony
• At Meet the Monkeys enter an enclosure with a group of Bolivian Squirrel Monkeys and observe them in their natural habitat
• Come face to face with the Komodo Dragons prowling their state of the art lair, landscaped to mimic a dry river bed
• Travel Into Africa and come face to face with the giraffe on our raised viewing platform or check out the playful yet lethal hunting dogs

The Zoological Society of London (ZSL) is a charity devoted to the worldwide conservation of animals and their habitats.   Our scientists in the laboratory and the field, animal management teams at both zoos and our veterinarians contribute wide-ranging skills and experience to both practical conservation and to the scientific research that underpins this work.
