  Text	Zoo Choice There are several zoos at Regent's Park. There's the one which almost everyone knows (and loves) providing comic monkeys, mendicant strictly not-to-be-fed bears, and camel rides. But there are other, subtler delights for both sightseer and student - the luminous enamelled treasures of the aquarium, the ungainly flamboyant flamingo, the rainbow host of exquisites who flash, chattering, way above your head within the lacy confines of the Snowdon Aviary. It's your choice; there's something for all tastes and all ages at London Zoo. Underground to Baker Street or Camden Town, then bus 74.
