The mustached guenon would actually be new for me! As would the Alpine chamois and the Javan gibbons (which I missed at Prague last year). For London, the main draws would be the mongoose, some of the herps and birds, and the overall history of the facility.
That's the sad thing about both Zoo Hellabrunn (Munich) and Zoo Hellbrunn (Salzburg) from a native / long-term resident's pov: Both aren't bad zoos, but unlike, say, Arnheim, Berlin, Prague or Vienna, they are not zoos I would passionately advise a zoo fan to visit as a "must-see" zoological institution.

...which Hellbrunn tried as well, but has muddled even more so than Hellabrunn.

I think he meant in regard to Salzburg, i.e. Hellabrunn > Hellbrunn
A slight misreading of my post - I meant "as Batto said, it's not a must-see for most zoo fans, but it's more of a must-see for zoo historians" rather than "it's more of a must-see for zoo historians than the must-see collections cited by Batto"
which sadly is no longer the case for Hagenbeck in my opinion.
The elephant house, part of the original primate complex and the aquarium could be considered zoo-historically relevant buildings in Hellabrunn. Other original constructions I still remember seeing as a child, like the old lion exhibit with its columns, have been gone for quite a while, while others, dating back from the 1980s-1990s, like the walkthrough aviary or the mhorr gazelle exhibit, might or might not be considered "zoo - historically relevant" by now. Which somehow makes me feel old...
