I think it was the wolf enclosure, along the north south path in the NE part of Regent's Park.
The Zoo has been rejigged since then, I attended the Danish Summer Fair just nearby every year, and used to pop out to say Hi to the wolves ('Hi hi ulve!') but they're now deeper in the zoo.
The Tigers are along by the Gibbons and the camels, on the boundary of the East - West path. Occasionally walking across Regent's Park you'll hear a loud roar.
I guess the US Ambassador who's residence is next door hears that a fair bit.
Back on topic.
Uncle Monty with his potted vegetables was bonkers.
'Flowers are tarts!'
- gilleain 1y agoYou're totally right, it was the wolves. I misremembered. Monty was great - "Are you a sponge or a stone? Do you soak up new experiences?"
- Kaijo 1y agoI find it impossible to reconcile Monty's character with the fact Richard Griffiths was only forty years old when he played him. Yes, forty. I'm 46 now but however old I get, Uncle Monty will forever remain the archetypal "batty older queen" in my head.
- gilleain 1y agoThat is wild, yes - he's one of those actors that always seems about that age. He was 57 or so when the first Harry Potter was filmed. In fact, I would like a Potter/Withnail mashup, with Harry looking confused and distraught while Withnail shouts "Have you been at the controls!!? I demand some booze!" at him.
