London Zoo

Very pleased with the London Zoo (except for its misleading Tube posters, which sent me to the wrong and more expensive stop!). The Reptile House was all that I could hope for, king cobra, taipan, black mamba, numerous green mambas, numerous spitting cobras, etc. An American western diamondback rattler that did not come out, as well as a sidewinder (whose cage inexplicably contained an empty Budweiser bottle and an old pack of Marlborough cigarettes, as if Americans were such addicts we smoke and drank in the hottest desert!).
