Walking from Baker Street to London Zoo on the far side of Regent's Park in the middle of a heatwave is not to be recommended. Find a bus, take a taxi or risk the walk from St John's Wood.
Arriving at the zoo was an eye opener for two people who haven't visited in decades. ZSL London Zoo (to give it the full title) is clearly a place where the animals come first. From the aquarium, to the butterfly house, to the lions and tigers, to the penguins... the habitats are amazing. Given the weather we didn't manage to make the whole zoo - we have to go back sometime to see the other side of the road!!
