Tourists seeking London attractions that will transport them far away from chilly winter weather should opt for London Zoo to enjoy a day among exotic animals in tropical climes.

The weather may be frightful outside, but stepping into the Rainforest Life exhibition, visitors will find themselves in the hot and humid environment of London's only living rainforest.

A number of amazing species reside among the luscious greenery of the rainforest environment, with monkeys, sloths, armadillos and a tamandua anteater all on show.

Downstairs in the nocturnal zone, visitors will learn about the things that go bump in the night in the jungle.

The Aquarium will add a splash of colour to a day out in the capital, with a multitude of exotic, beautiful and endangered fish swimming around the vibrant coral reef displays.

If snakes, lizards and crocodiles are your thing, then head straight to the Reptile House, in which brave visitors come face to face with a variety of fascinating features.
