Best time to visit London Zoo in 2026?
Weekday, right at 10am opening.
Yeah, and go straight for the gorillas before the school groups hit.
Gorilla Kingdom first, before the 11am feeding rush.
The main gate on Outer Circle clogs up by 10:15, so aim for opening or use the Regent's Park side entrance instead.
Agree on timing, but avoid half term weeks entirely, the place is hellish then regardless of the hour.
Half term is the real killer, check the school calendar first
honestly tues or weds beats monday, half the school trips seem to land on mondays
avoid camden side, gets rammed by 10.30
Book online the night before, you save a few quid and skip the ticket window queue entirely.
The Print Room in 2026: still worth a visit?
check the website first, hours change weekly
their site's often a week behind tbh, ringing the desk on a friday is the safer bet
ringing works but they only pick up after 11 on weekdays, before that it's just the answerphone
Honestly the friday call is worth it just to dodge a wasted trip, though last time they told me the whole weekend slot was blocked for a private thing.
Sunday hours are the real gap, closed entirely.
agreed, but their Instagram stories update faster than the site
Went in last month, still prints but the programme's shifted to more photography, and Saturdays they close at 4 so go before lunch.
Yeah the 4pm thing caught me out too
Photography room upstairs is the bit worth the detour
Lower gallery's shut for rehang till the 12th.
