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.

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.

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.
