Move along please, there nothing to see here...
The original penguin enclosure at London Zoo, with the trademark dual helix ramps, have been moved to, I assume, a more "penguin--friendly" place and not risk themselves from falling off the ramps and now decorated with some strange looking metal insects instead.
Still an amazing concrete structure with minimal steel support. I hope they find a different use for it soon and not demolish it.
Opened in 1828, London Zoo is the oldest Scientific Zoo in the world. The Penguin enclosure was design was by Tecton, built in 1934. The structure is Grade 1 Listed.
