Santa will be visiting the animals, including these two donkeys, at Battersea Park Children's Zoo this mule-tide.

Saint Nick will be at the popular zoo on both days this weekend and from December 15 to 24.

Children will be able to visit Santa to receive a sticker, small gift, drink and a treat.

The family-friendly zoo has a wide range of animals on show, from the pigs, rabbits, capuchin monkeys, squirrel monkeys, ringtailed lemurs, mara, emu, coati, Asian short-clawed otters and numerous bird species such as African grey parrots.

Children can also let off steam exploring a life-sized fire engine, adventure playground and a giant sand pit with water features.

Tickets cost £3.50 per child (£3 for season ticket holders) plus the cost of the normal child entrance fee to the zoo.
