London Zoo's car park is situated on the Outer Circle of Regent's Park at postcode NW1 4SX, which is inside the ultra-low emissions zone (ULEZ) but falls outside of the congestion charge zone.
Please check your vehicle before you travel to see whether you need to pay ULEZ fees if visiting us by car.

Availability cannot be guaranteed, and parking will be on a first come, first served basis - no advance booking or reservations. The car park closes at 8:30pm. Please make sure you have left the visitor car park by this time as it is then locked down until the next day.
