London Zoo Lates

As the sun goes down this summer, join London Zoo after hours for an unmissable adult-only evening. From 6pm on Friday you're invited to come and see the Zoo in a different light without the kids or the crowds. Explore a world of wildlife in the heart of the city with tours, talks and exhibitions. Then when you’ve worked up an appetite, discover our Wild Bites street food market, serving up fantastic flavours from across the globe, with plenty of choice for herbivores and carnivores. Grab a drink from one of the watering holes and chill out surrounded by relaxing music and our incredible animals.

Gain access to one of London's most-loved attractions and experience it like you never have before: laugh like a hyena with some of your friends as you explore the world-famous zoo and take part in brilliant activities.

From 6-10pm, London Zoo will be transformed so you can satisfy your travel bug without leaving London. Along with 19,000 amazing animals, you’ll celebrate world cultures with pop-up activities and experiences across the zoo, explore different habitats from rainforest to savannah to jungle, and when you’ve worked up an appetite, enjoy an array of street food vendors offering exciting flavours from around the globe.

And because it’s adults only, you can grab some refreshment from the bar before kicking back in the Latin American themed chillout zone in the heart of the Zoo.

Explore our world of wildlife in the heart of the city at Zoo Nights - with fun talks and grown-up tours* – including the return of The Birds and Bees tour, where our expert guides will reveal what the animals really get up to as the sun sets and unravel the mysteries of sex in the animal kingdom.
