- The boundary between the parishes of St Marylebone and St Pancras passes through the Zoo. Markers were put in place soon after the formation of Regent's Park and the Regent's Canal, and before the formation of the Zoological Gardens. Four pairs of these parish boundary markers survive within the Zoo: on the north bank of the canal just south of the Owl Aviary; on the south bank of the canal north of the Clore Pavilion; on the north side of the Outer Circle south east of the Clore Pavilion; and on the south side of the Outer Circle north of the Keepers' Lodge. Other pairs on the canal's north towpath and on the pavement on the south side of Prince Albert Road are just outside the Zoo. Installed in 1821, some replaced 1854.
