I just saw fox running near the rails at the Bow Church DLR station :-

It ran through the length of the platform, then crossed the rails and
went to the garden nearby.

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.

there are polenty of fox's in the city , I saw one in my road eating
the remains of someone's rejected takeaway.

That's what I expect it was after at London Bridge, but there's
usually some kind of undisturbed land nearby, eg railway embankment or
abandoned garden. I am not sure where there is any such land at
London Bridge station.

Travelling on Thameslink between Blackfriars and London Bridge one sees
an emptyish derelict-looking area to the left of the train. In the
daytime I have seen foxes on two or three occasions there, sometimes
moving, sometimes asleep. Cannot recall what this area actually is but
the trains pass it very slowly shortly before arrival.
