Join our tour of London Zoo, its modernist architecture and more

Penguin Pool at London Zoo, designed by Berthold Lubetkin and the Tecton Group and completed in 1934 (c) ZSL (1).

If you thought London Zoo was just about animals, think again. Modernist architecture treasures abound in this sightseeing staple, which offers a range of designs for different residents' homes, starting from structures from the Victorian times (1828 to be precise, when the attraction first opened its doors) and leading up to the 21st century (the Tiger Territory was perfected in 2013). Young visitors flock daily to coo over its furry inhabitants, but its built environment has something for everyone too, making this a worthy visit for the architecture enthusiast.
