"A south-west London library was forced to close briefly after a fox made
itself comfortable inside the building.
Twickenham Library staff were surprised to find the curious animal cuddled up
on a chair inside the building on Tuesday.
Quick-thinking librarians immediately closed the building while the animal was
safely removed.
In a post on social media, Richmond Council explained: “There was an unexpected
visitor to Twickenham Library yesterday when a fox decided to pop in and make
themselves VERY comfortable!
“The Richmond Libraries team had to close the up temporarily to remove the fox,
who we can only assume was after some Roald Dahl.”
Foxes are a regular part of London life and the mischievous creatures have been
spotted on Downing Street and even in the water fountains in Trafalgar Square.
In 2011, a fox was even discovered to be living at the top of the UK's tallest
skyscraper, the Shard.
The animal, named Romeo by staff, was thought to have entered the 288m building
at London Bridge through the central stairwell, the
BBC reported at the time.
It survived by eating scraps of food left by builders working on the incomplete
structure.
Earlier this year, it was also reported that foxes had begun to dig burrows in
the soil of the rooftop garden at Google’s unopened headquarters in King’s
Cross."
