<![CDATA[Greater London - Camden - Primrose Hill - Reviews]]> http://www.welovelocal.com Reviews from welovelocal.com en great day out http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/camden/primrose-hill/tourist-attractions/london-zoo-nw14ry.html#r37328 Its great that zoos still exist in this over politically correct time we live in. London Zoo still has all the animals a zoo should have . the animals are well looked after and the keepers are really at one with the beasts. This is the zoo as featured in the Harry Potter Movie ( the snake scene with HArry and his dreadful cousin) . Look out for the gorilla statue that u see in the film, although its not actually in the same place it was in the movie scene ... all done with smoke and mirrors !

Worth a visit.

My favouite section is the monkey house... they are SO human like, it's amazing.

I wouldn't bother with the lunch though... they sell burgers, hot dogs etc... but they're overpriced and to be quite frank don't taste good.

You can get some quick and easy bar food or they have the restaurant which you'll need to book for. Nothing beats a glass of wine in their garden although it is very popular when the sun comes out. A very atmospheric pub and surprisingly unpretentious

The enormous statue in memory of guy the gorillla stands strong in the grounds. i don't think you can ever tire of watching just how careful and not cumbersome at all the gorillas are when eating. the pygmy hippo's were cute but the whole swimming in the dirty water thing turns my stomach!! on teh whole great place.

There is loads to see and do. The animals all look well loved and are fantastic to see. It is like a little oasis in the city. It is expensive, especially the food and drink and of course the gift shop but defiantly worth a visit.

London Zoo is the world's oldest scientific zoo.When it was opened this Zoo was originally intended to be used as a collection for scientific study. Today it houses a collection of 704 species of animals, with 16,802 individuals, making it one of the largest collections in the United Kingdom.

The gorillas were awesome, you could get really close and it was fun watching the silverback run up and down and start hitting the glass, praying it wouldn't break!!

I went on a Saturday and it was quite empty, maybe to do with the weather - no-one was crazy enough to go on a cold winter's day!

It's nicely laid out, not too big so you don't get lost, and we managed to do most of it in a few hours. Various zoo keepers were wandering around, some with Monkey's on leads, some holding tarantulas and other creepy crawlies, so you could really get up close to some of the animals.

Would recommend it for a fun day out with family or friends.
