The London Zoo
We decided to pass by the London Zoo today since its in Camden Town close to where we wanted to do some shopping. The zoo is larger than the Kuwait Zoo (duh) but much smaller than the San Diego Zoo. They have an incredible gorilla exhibit surprisingly with around 3 gorillas. The zoo looks like it was built in a forest, the whole area around the zoo is a huge green park with hills and trees and the inside of the zoo is the same. The zoo is actually split in two with a canal passing through, you need to cross a bridge to get to the other side, very cool. There are a couple of more pictures if you click on continue.

A few years back London Zoo was going to be shut down due to them being broke.. The emir of kuwait (sh. Jaber) donated to them a million pounds sterling to keep the zoo open.

Cool that was interesting. Well the zoo now does have an indoor rain forest, an aquarium and most importantly their biggest attraction, the gorillas.
everything in Kuwait sucks
Not everything. The aquarium at scientific center is wayyy better than the one at the london zoo.
Third picture looks like Amsterdam
:) fun.. go to the the sound of music musical show… it’s in carnbay street and i bet you saw many ads for that (never been to it but heard a lot about it)… and also try the cadbury factory!! they have kinds of chocolate that you can’t find in the market!! and they also give you samples :D lucky you :(
go to the aquarium next to london eye. that is a better aquarium and is better than kuwait aquarium. but i still think the one in kuwait is good and the best in the region.
i love zoo’s (^_^) “
last time i went to London i didn’t pass down there after reading all the negative reviews about the zoo , didn’t want to wast my time , after seeing those pictures i don’t regret it.
The zoo is larger than the Kuwait Zoo (duh) <== that really really cracked me up lol Thanks for the pics. They look interesting except for the penguins. They on the otherhand look tres adorable! Can’t tell what’s in the last pic though. I tried to guess but I really can’t cuz they look blonde sheep only with a cat’s head instead of sheep’s. Plus they’ve got racing stripes so they’re really fast, and apparently they can stand on thier hind legs. So yeah, no clue what that’s in the last pic.
drunk: blonde sheep sounds like a cross between dolly and pamela anderson
Zoos suck! How would you like being taken out of your natural habitat and poked, prodded and stared at until your dying day?
I’d go to a zoo but most of the time they smell like shit..literally. Plus, I always end up eyeballing the monkeys.
I go on my clint eastwood pose and go ” ‘Ey Boi! Whatcha lookin’ at, boi?”
Britchick I’d shit all over my cage and make them clean it. :P
