London Zoo

London Zoo, formally known as the Zoological Society of London's Regent's Park Zoo, is situated on the northern edge of Regent's Park in the City of Westminster. Founded in 1828, it is the world's oldest scientific zoo and was originally intended solely for scientific study before opening to the public in 1847. The zoo covers approximately 36 acres and houses a large collection of animals, with a focus on conservation and education. Several of its historic buildings, including the Penguin Pool designed by Berthold Lubetkin, are Grade I listed structures.
