Kevin McCloud's Listed Britain lands on More4 on 3 June at 9pm, and in it Kevin gets rare behind-the-scenes access to some of the UK's most remarkable Grade I listed structures. One of them is right here at our conservation Zoo: the iconic Lubetkin Penguin Pool.

Designed by Berthold Lubetkin in 1934, it's one of the most celebrated pieces of modernist architecture in the world – a cherished monument to our 200-year history. Kevin gets closer than most people ever will, uncovering the stories and the science of why places like this are worth protecting.

Tune in to More4 on Wednesday 3 June at 9pm, or catch it on All 4.
