HISTORY OF ZSL LONDON ZOO
The Zoo, a place of historical and scientific
interest, was established in 1826, adding to its
credibility. Spanning over two centuries, the
space is notable today for supporting
groundbreaking innovations, extensive pioneering
research, and unfaltering commitment and love for
wildlife. What we now know as ZSL London Zoo was
once a house for exotic wildlife primarily placed
in the Tower of London. If that sparked your
interest, wait because there is more. In todays
age, apart from conventional animal sightseeing,
the zoo is a hub for research and innovation and
offers a wealth of educational opportunities
alongside community engagement.

THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO IN THE ZOO
With over 650 species of animals, the zoo houses
a wide array of attractions and activities that
you must plan out prior to visiting the zoo
itself. Read below to note down the activities
that excite you the most! 1. Land of the
Lions The Land of the Lions is a popular tourist
attraction in the ZSL Londono Zoo. The
inspiration for the design and landscape draws
itself from the awe-worthy Sasan Gir region,
India. The entire exhibit reflects the village
with a built-in train station, a marketplace, and
a lion temple. If you are fond of this particular
animal species, the zoo provides an opportunity
to immerse yourself in its habitat and learn
about the efforts being made to protect it from
extinction.
