If you find yourself with a bit of extra time, I highly recommend the ZSL London Zoo
London Zoo website
The zoo is full of twisting paths
through the trees and exhibits. The exhibits themselves were
wrapping adventures with plenty of spaces for guests to see wherever
the animals may be inside the enclosure. I had the pleasure of
taking a seat in the amphitheatre for the Animals in Action show.
Not only were the handlers well knowledgeable and enthusiastic, but
the audience had an up close and personal interaction with the birds
flying literally right over their heads.
I had to, on more than one occasion, duck as a vulture, a macaw, and Bob the owl swooped inches away from my head as I tried to get pictures of them and still duck at the last minute.

I spent more than 3 hours wandering
around the zoo, skipping exhibits I didn't like (like the gorillas)
and returning to the exhibits I enjoyed (or stumbled on again). Definitely recommend getting your tickets ahead of time online. It saves time in line at the main gate, and you get to go in through the special "ordered ahead" entrance... which is actually through the exit.
