London Zoo in Regent’s Park, London, England, is a conservation-focused zoo managed by the Zoological Society of London and home to thousands of animals. Visitors can observe a wide variety of species, attend daily animal talks, explore themed habitats, take part in animal experiences and learn about wildlife conservation. The zoo supports conservation, research and education programmes that help protect species and habitats both in the United Kingdom and internationally. Founded nearly two centuries ago, the zoo was established as the first scientific zoo dedicated to advancing knowledge of animals and the natural world through zoological study.
