History lesson alert! The UK house-building boom of the early 1930s was really important in creating what we now recognise as ‘the suburbs’. This period saw the creation of leafy suburbs, drawing foxes in from the country and giving rise to what we now call the 'urban fox population.'

Have a listen to hear how human expansion in London and the South East inadvertently  created an environment that's perfect for foxes to thrive.
