Me and my wife are going to visit London at the end of this month. Any recommendatios about nice salamander related places we could/should visit during our stay in London? I have told to visit London Zoo, but are there any other zoos, good pet shops, public terrarium houses,...?

Last time I visited london zoo they were quite short on amphibians in general, but they did have a Kimono Dragon which IMO wsa worth the entry fee alone.
I cant think of anywhere else tbh, theres battersea zoo but thats very child orientated and I havent been in years(10) so I've no idea what they've got there.

On the other hand if you'd like to fill your time with shopping and alternative clubbing I could give quite a few suggestions :)

Lasher, I can only assume you mean Komodo dragon. I believe this is the same dragon that recently shocked the world with its 'virgin birth'.

hahaha yeah there is far more alternative clubs and good shops than newt/salamander related places in london. make sure you pay camden a visit! :D

theres a few reptile/amphibian shops that may have a selection of newts etc on display if you do a google search for exotics shops in london it should bring up a few.

Yes, no the same dragon though, it was in Chester zoo, I went to visit her yesterday. Two of the eight I think are on show to the public as well as two adults. They don't do much but they are still impressive.
