  • The Parrot House was built as the Zoo's Refreshment Rooms. (The building has been identified as the Fellows' Tea Pavilion of 1898. In fact this stood north of the Clock Tower). It went up in three phases. The south block, or Dining Room, came first as a virtually free standing adjunct to an iron and glass refreshment room of 1862 on the site of the north and west blocks. The replacement north block Refreshment Room was designed at the same time but the west block, built as a Second Class Refreshment Room, was an afterthought, a fact that is evident in the meeting of the roofs. The north block later became the Fellows' Dining Room and the west block a Tea Room. Following the construction of the superior Regent Restaurant, the whole building was converted for the display of parrots and diving birds. Built 1868-78 as the Refreshment Rooms; Anthony Salvin Junior, architect, cost £6,636. (South block 1868-69. North block 1873; Simpson and Company, builders. West block 1877-78; George Smith and Company, builders). Converted 1929-30 with addition of Garden Cafe and K3 telephone kiosk; Edward T Salter, architect. K3 telephone kiosk listed Grade II. Refurbished in 2003 for a school lunchroom. Funding was from Thames Water. It was demolished in 2011 for Penguin Beach.
