Redefining the expression 'a wild night out', ZSL presents an after-hours summer soiree at London Zoo.As the sun goes down, the time-honoured kiddie kingdom becomes an adults only playground - with painted faces, furry hats and animal masks worn by the majority of the excitable crowd.Sandwiches and sweets have been replaced with gourmet street food from the Eat St. collective, a Pommery champagne bar, Pimm's tent and cocktail stalls.The animals are, of course, the real stars of the show with the most recent exhibit 'Penguin Beach' - the world's largest penguin pool, a definite highlight.Adding to the festival vibe was a wii 'Just Dance' bus, silent disco and cabaret performances.We'd quite happily spend every Friday night sipping Pimm's with the penguins...
