Zoo Thousand music festival dispatched their Animal Band to London on Monday night to encourage greener travelling among festival goers.

Their animal-costumed parrot, lion, tiger and gorilla mascots were joined by the Jungle Janes– the festival’s lovely group of hand painted ladies – who hit the Capital’s streets before heading to London Bridge train station to meet commuters on the London to Kent mainline

The festival, which takes place at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent, wants 70% of its visitors to travel to the event by public transport to minimise the impact on the environment and the endangered species around the world that the festival helps support through its donations to the Aspinall Foundation who run Port Lympne.

The inaugural Zoo Thousand and Eight takes place from July 4-6th 2008 with acts including Mark Ronson, Dizzee Rascal, The Cribs, Ash, The Hives and Athlete.
