Now empty Penguin Pool, London Zoo - a photo on Flickriver

            Architects; Berthold Lubetkin, Tecton, 1934.
Fountains still playing in an empty pool, while most of the Penguins are thoroughly enjoying their new spacious Beach accommodation only few hundred yards away. I understand some 'status conscious' old timers are most unhappy to loose their Grade I listed  building address which was envy of Penguins from Nort  to South Pole. I have also heard some rumors that Health & Safety issues were also at  play - hard concrete bad for Pingu joints.
