"To celebrate its bicentenary, London Zoo is launching a programme of monthly history tours that delve into two centuries of animals, architecture and scientific discovery. The guided walks are included as a free extra with a paid Zoo visit and run on a rotating theme throughout the year, allowing visitors to choose tours that match their particular interests in the Zoo's long and varied past."
"Each tour starts at 11:30am from the main entrance once you are inside the Zoo, and lasts for around an hour. Please note: the tour ticket does not include Zoo entry, which you have to buy separately. It's easiest to book the tour first from here, then book the admission ticket to the zoo, which you can do here. (Note, it's easy to miss, but the booking button for the tours is at the top of the London Zoo website page underneath the title)"
