ZSL London Zoo is open every day of the year except Christmas Day.

Land of the Lions opened in spring 2016 by HM Queen Elizabeth II at ZSL London Zoo and provides state-of-the-art facilities for a breeding group of endangered Asiatic lions, of which only 400 remain in the wild. The enclosure is 2,500 square metres (27,000 square feet) in size, and designed to resemble the Gir Forest National Park in India. The exhibit is also home to a troop of Hanuman langurs also a band of dwarf mongoose and shows how the lions' natural habitat overlaps with the local urban environments.
