I'm watching a show on Amazon prime Video called "The Secrets of London". At one time the Tower of London was a zoo! There were actually live animals living there, lions and elephants and bears... oh my!
You were able to get into the zoo for free if you brought a cat or dog to feed to the lions. They also used those feedings for the royals entertainment which is really disgusting, but back then it was quite acceptable.
The animals are long gone, but are replaced with sculptures of the former zoo animals and are scattered through the Tower in the locations where the animals used to be. That is definitely on my bucket list of places to go!
