I never would have thought about going to the London Zoo had it not being for H booking the tickets. If you've experienced the craziness of Oxford Street, it completely destroys any sense of a peaceful oasis for animals ever existing in London.
In any case during summer London opens up the Zoo in the evenings for adults only. So the ability to walk around the Zoo without prams and screaming children seemed particularly inviting.
Of course what we didn't think about was if you take away prams and screaming children it's replaced with something else ; alcohol and a completely different clientele. Which early on appears very well behaved until a few hours into their pimms and you find they're mimicking the animals we've come here to see.
Overall the Zoo was fantastic to see and I was rather impressed by their exhibits with the rainforest area being my favourite. Essentially the birds and cheeky monkeys fly around and above you as you walk through. It's amazing to be so close to them.
However I have to make note of the Zoo being inundated by Chav types. And if you're not familiar with this term I can describe them as follows;
If you're still not getting the Chav then I can summarise for those Aussies out there, essentially if you were in a small Aussie country town and you saw a male Chav walking down the street you would think he was batting for the other team and if you saw a female Chav you would wonder what a Sydney corner worker is doing here!

- Both Male and Female Chav's are bathed in fake tan (daily)
- A male Chav typically wears coudroy (grandpa) pants and shirt with jacket but definately no tie.
- Another point to note on the male Chav is he typically has facial hair and not just a light dusting of beard growth, a full beard. The hair is of a medium length and combed over with the use of a good dose of hair product.
- The female Chav decorates her fake tan with a heavy dose of makeup including the fake eyelashes. Typically you would not see a female Chav without the fake eyelashes.
- And she typically wears heels no matter the location or reason for an event which is decorated with a particularly short as possible dress or skirt.
- This leaves the Male Chav and any other observer to note that it leaves not much to the imagination and hence breeding or the part before that is high on the minds of the Chav female. This is particularly enhanced when alcohol is involved, the drink of choice for these types.
