Who we are


London Zoo is part of ZSL (Zoological Society of London), the global science driven conservation charity working to restore wildlife in more than 80 countries around the world. 

For 200 years, ZSL has combined pioneering research, field conservation, veterinary excellence and the unique power of our two conservation zoos, London and Whipsnade Zoos, to protect species, restore habitats and inspire people to care about the natural world.

Our licensing programme extends this mission- transforming our extraordinary heritage, science and wildlife stories into products and experiences that connect people with nature every day and inspires the next generation of conservationists.

Our approach to licensing

We work closely with licensees and retailers to create commercially successful, purpose led products that reflect our values and inspire a love of wildlife.

From initial concept to final ranges, all development is supported to ensure a distinct, cohesive brand vision rooted in conservation, storytelling and sustainability.
