London Zoo celebrates 200 years of ZSL this year
This much loved science-led charity that has transformed how the world connects with wildlife was founded in 1826. Since then ZSL helped introduce new concepts and ideas that are now part of everyday life, from the word “zoo” itself to the ground-breaking discoveries in the animal care and conservation.
This anniversary year shines a spotlight on the people, animals and moments that have shaped two centuries of innovation at the heart of London.
Visitors to London Zoo can dive into a rich programme of stories, interactive experiences and special anniversary content, all while enjoying an unforgettable day out with over 8,500 animals. From historic firsts to future focused conservation, ZSL’s 200th anniversary isn’t just a celebration of the past — it is an invitation to be part of the next chapter in protecting wildlife worldwide.
