The Northern Aviary at London Zoo, widely known as the Snowdon Aviary, was built between 1962-1964 and opened in 1965. Lord Snowdon was the designer of the Aviary.
The existing 1868 Elephant House at London Zoo was demolished and the foundations laid for a new Elephant House; however work stopped in 1939 because of the outbreak of World War II and the Tecton designed Elephant House was never built. A new building designed by Casson Conder and partners was completed in 1965.
