Urban Wilderness: City Spots Where Wildlife Thrives

7. London, England: Foxes on Every Corner

In London, red foxes have become an iconic part of the city’s wildlife. These adaptable animals can be seen scavenging in urban neighborhoods, lounging in backyards, or darting across streets at night. While some Londoners view them as pests, many appreciate their resilience and charm. Beyond foxes, parks like Hampstead Heath and Richmond Park host deer, hedgehogs, and countless bird species, making London a surprising haven for urban wildlife. The city’s green spaces provide critical refuges for animals amid the urban sprawl.
