ZSL, the Zoological Society of London, was founded in 1826 by Sir Stamford Raffles. London Zoo opened in 1827 and was an architectural masterpiece. Many of those original buildings remain, now repurposed. The ZSL London Zoo site contains two Grade I and eight Grade II listed buildings, modern additions to the zoo are similarly magnificent. There are almost 17,000 creatures at the zoo representing over 700 species, all beautifully cared for and displayed to maximize our enjoyment and learning whilst maintaining a natural and enriching environment for the residents. Thanks to the dedicated work of the Zoological Society of London who is famous for creating enclosures that are designed to resemble the animals' natural habitats, stepping inside the zoo makes you feel like you've been transported to different parts of the world.
