Come face to face with some of the hairiest, scariest, tallest and smallest animals on the planet - right in the heart of the capital. Set in leafy Regent’s Park amongst heritage-listed buildings and beautiful gardens, London Zoo is a great excuse for a big day out.

Meet Komodo dragons or drop by the Penguins’ new play pool, before visiting the cheeky baby primates. With guided tours, special events, free daily activities and onsite coach parking, it’s the perfect time to bring your group along.

The Zoo's Main Gate is situated on the Outer Circle of Regent's Park NW1, which is outside of the congestion charge zone.

 

Pay and display parking is also available on the Outer Circle, from 9am to 6.30pm. Monday to Saturday costing £2.00 per hour with a maximum stay of four hours. Sundays and Bank Holidays cost £1.20 per hour with no maximum stay.

Facilities


Wheelchair access:

The Zoo is more than 170 years old and contains many old buildings, 12 of which are listed. However, most of the Zoo is accessible for wheelchair users and those with walking difficulties, with two notable exceptions. There is no access to the Moonlight World and no direct access to the Aquarium. However, if visitors present themselves at the Information Kiosk, near the Zoo entrance, we can arrange for a volunteer to take you into the Aquarium via level access at the rear.

 

The penguin pool (listed Grade 1) has limited viewing for wheelchair users and very small children.

 

The paths are generally tarmac and there is level or ramped access to most buildings. We should also add that the slopes leading to the two tunnels in the Zoo are rather steep.

 

Toilets for disabled visitors:

Men and women: opposite BUGS and in the Children's Zoo

Men only: by the Aquarium

Women only: near the African Aviary and Zoo entrance

Changing table: available at the First Aid post

 

Wheelchairs:

There are six manual wheelchairs and two electric buggies available at the Zoo entrance. There is no hire charge, but we ask you to pay a deposit of £25. It is strongly recommended that you book a wheelchair in advance of your visit to ensure that you get one. Please call 020 7449 6576 to reserve one.
