Now this is a lemur enclosure! Sure, the viewing area might not be the best as it is not open-topped and instead there are sections of glass and wire...BUT there is a lot of foliage and loads of climbing opportunites for the lemurs.

Good point Jimmy, and that can contribute to my praise of this exhibit. I love the fact that it is so lush for the primates, and it is the polar opposite of the lemur cages at RSCC in Kent.

To be fair, you can't really compare the zoological institute that is London Zoo with a tiny 2-year old collection.
The big established collections will obviously be able to pull off exihbit design better than the small zoos
But yes, I agree with you that this is a great exhibit and London can really pull of some gems (the otter, meerkat, hippo, komodo dragon, clore, African wild dog, the reptile vivariums etc) however these are often overshadowed by Gorilla Kingdom's original poor design or the listed buildings. Saying that, I don't have high hopes for the new children's zoo...
The Goeldi's Monkeys have some company: this is currently a Goeldi's Monkey and Southern Tamandua mixed exhibit ... so the Tamanduas are on public display again.
Come to London Zoo now. The female Southern Tamandua is on display in the main rainforest exhibit inside the Clore, sharing the exhibit with Red Titi Monkeys, Golden-headed Lion Tamarins, Two-toed Sloths, Grey-winged Trumpeters and Sunbitterns.
