Time Out says
Charles Darwin had many links with London Zoo, including acting as corresponding fellow to the zoo during his fact-finding voyage on HMS Beagle and studying animals at the zoo. This trail offers the opportunity to learn more about the man and his theories through exhibits including the new Blackburn Pavilion walk-through birdhouse and the Gorilla Kingdom.
