    Squirrel Monkey: Ask the zoo keeper (not the red jumper volunteers, but the guys in green tops) when they feed them. That's the best time to see all of them together, including the new three babies!

    Lovely clean spacious zoo! Animals are well fed and treated, cages not small but good sizes. My spotlight was the tigers. But every animal is worth to see. I spent all day long and it is def a must

    If you live anywhere in Greater London and love animals, membership is worth the investment. It's expensive but you can come as often as you like, and includes Whipsnade Zoo as well.

    Excellent day out! Be prepared for lots of walking around so wear comfy shoes! Worth prebooking tickets online as they can be a queue (though it moves very quickly)

    Visiting in the winter means a more peaceful experience to enjoy the animals. Some may be inside for the winter, so be sure to mosey in when you can't spot them outside.

    One of the best I have ever been , one of the biggest credits is the connection with the river bus!! You can stop to little Venice or even Camden town .

    Amazing zoo, the animals were quite active the day I went and a few came right up to the barriers so it was the closest I had seen many animals.

    Nice zoo (love the penguin beach by the way) there are many species of animals here but from tube to the zoo needs some energy. Take a bus instead.

    Just the place in London if you’re into animals. Well looked after. If I lived closer I’d become a member.

    Happy to see the amount of space each animal has although the zoo is missing some great animals I would have loved to see. 😞

    Tigers/Lions are pretty cool. And don't forget to check Gorillas while you are there. Ohh and golden monkeys are so cute.

    The Snowdon Aviary at London Zoo was co-designed by the Earl of Snowdon, husband of HRH The Princess Margaret. The swans, officially owned by the Crown, fly freely on the canal next door!

    'Meet the Monkeys' is literally amazing. You're in the enclosure with them and they roam around your feet and pose for photos.

    Visit the world-famous Gorilla Kindom for a one of a kind zoo experience. Only a moat and sections of glass separate you from the kings of the jungle.

    Perfect day to visit is when it is overcast or rainy a bit as the animals will almost all be out and about to see!

    Buy tickets in advanced on internet and be there just before 10am when it opens. Take overground + bus 274 to get there easily.

    You should buy tickets online. It is cheaper and you avoid really long queues at the entrance.

    In the main cafe by the gift shop buy your coffee at the small coffee bar at the front of the cafe. It's far better quality.

    A lot of animals were not available to see, so the ticket price should be lower. A nice zoo though.

    Very expensive! £62.50 for 1 adult and 2 kids (including £5 donation, which wasn't exactly optional...). But the infrastructure is good and you can get quite close to the animals.

    A lot to see! If you're staying for a few days it might be worth making this a two-day-thing!

    Always do the national rail 2 for one offer- you can't fast track but saves £25
