Due to open on the 9th October. The tortoises moved in a few weeks ago. I am pleased that ZSL have chosen a modern and modest design for their latest building. The new Reptile House will be built next door, next year: it will have a similar design with extra space for breeding and rearing herps.
For a brief description of the building's design, including the plastic roof, see Seven ways nature is at heart of London Zoo.
