I was a bit more surprised when I saw a fox come down from the
footbridge and wander across platform 5/6 at London Bridge, given that
the whole station is on a viaduct.

Well, until then I haven't see any fox in London at all. At least now
I understand that those fox-like "dogs" I see sometimes are actually
foxes! (which was quite unbelievable for a foreigner)

I have seen 4 in my garden - mum, dad and 2 juniors. I often hear the
high pitched screams of foxes during the night.

I have also almost been "foxbushed" on the way to the station in the
dark when 4 or 5 foxes came running up the road behind me to try to
reach their lair. They typically don't like human contact and I stopped
and we ended up in a stand off as I was inadvertently right on their
route into their "home" via a car park behind a church. They ran round
me and disappeared. Not really what you expect in Walthamstow!
