London Zoo

London zoo was slightly disapointing.The large animals such as Elephants and rhinos have been shipped to whipsnade.The lions and tigers were in small enclosures and almost impossible to see as they slept in the long grass and many animals such as the bears were not possible to spot at all.The new gorilla enclosure was far better but was so crowded that is was still hard to see them.Other areas such as the aquarium and reptile house although interesting looked like they have not been touched since the place was built in victorian times.
