London Zoo facts and trivia
Sometimes called Regent's Zoo, London Zoo is the world's oldest scientific zoo. First opened in 1828, London Zoo didn't open to the public until 1847 as it was initially intended to be a place for scientific study only. At the time, the zoo provided access to the now extinct Quagga and Thylacine.
London Zoo's first aquarium was the world's first public aquarium which opened in 1953.
The zoo has been featured and mentioned in many films and television programs including An American Werewolf in London (David, the movie's main character, wakes up in the wolves' enclosure).
There are two grade 1 and eight grade 2 listed structures within London Zoo.
