The Zoo is a perfect setting for receptions and private dinners in London all year round.
Why host a drinks reception or a private dinner at London Zoo?
Start your evening in style with some of the world's most fascinating animals in one of our animal areas including Tiger Territory, the Attenborough Komodo Dragon House and Penguin Beach. You'll be served delicious canapés and a selection of exciting cocktails and beverages.
Following the drinks reception your guests would move across to the Prince Albert Suite or the Mappin Pavilion depending on guest numbers and event requirements.
With dishes from award winning caterers Benugo, your guests will be as delighted with their dining experience as they are with the stunning surroundings. The talented team have created a range of menus, specially designed to suit the setting in which they'll be enjoyed.
