London Zoo

If you come to the capital of England, visit London Zoo. It's one of the oldest zoos in the world. Some exotic animals first arrived to Britain in the 13^th century as a present to King Henry III. They were leopards and elephants. The animals lived in the Tower of London in a special place. Later the king of Norway presented a polar bear to Henry III. They say the bear liked to go fishing in the Thames at the end of a long rope¹.

Five hundred years passed. And on 27^th April 1828 London Zoo was opened. It is situated in the heart of London, in Regent's Park. Although the Zoo is located in the middle of the city, it still has plenty of animals to see including lions, camels, giraffes, penguins, tigers, monkeys and elephants. In fact, there are 750 different kinds of animals in London Zoo. It is one of the largest collections of animals in the UK.

The Zoo is divided into many different areas, which are great fun to explore. The most popular attractions are Meet the Monkeys, Butterfly Paradise and Into Africa. Children can also take part in fun activities, see the performances, ride the animals and visit interesting exhibitions.

London Zoo is open all the year round except 25^th December. Whatever the time of the year or weather, there is always something to see and do at London Zoo.
