It was opened in London on 27 April 1828, and was originally intended to be used as a collection for scientific study. It was eventually opened to the public in 1847. The zoo is sometimes called Regent's Zoo. It is situated at the northern edge of Regent's Park, on the boundary line between City of Westminster and Camden.
