It’s a Zoo Jim, But Not As We Know It

I’m not really struck on zoos, as I much prefer to see animals in the wild.  But last night I had a most unusual night out at London Zoo.  It was one of their Zoo Lates.

Other than the usual attractions, there was a twisted cabaret, lots of good food, bands and you could talk to the keepers about the animals. There were no children, except for a few baby animals and it wasn’t crowded but for one totally acceptable exception. Even the queues for the toilets were within reason.

Here’s a few general pictures.

It was certainly a good night out. I shall go again.

  2. London Zoo used to have a great deal – a cheap annual family ticket with free parking. That’s no more of course although I see they are now doing an annual £150 family deal for one adult and up to five kids, which is actually good value considering a single entry with one adult and three kids is over £60.

  3. I don’t drive so just took a 274 from the Angel straight to the Zoo. Or you could pick up the 274 from Camden Road or Caledonian Road and Barnsbury on the NLL.
