London Zoo

Rating  3 Penguin 
Penguin Species  African 
Number of Birds  There are about 30 African penguins in the exhibit
Description of Exhibit  The exhibit is listed as a building of special architectural merit. It was designed in the 1930s in the Art Nouveau style. The two walkways in prestressed concrete seem impossibly thin. The exhibit is in the shape of an ellipse with quite high sides over which you can look down onto the penguins. Most of the exhibit is given over to a pool.
How to get there  London Zoo is situated on the North side of Regents Park in the heart of London. Although there is a car park it is best to take a bus or underground train.
