Google battling 'fox infestation' on roof of £1B London office

a year ago

Google's new £1bn London office is facing issues with foxes inhabiting its rooftop garden.
Foxes have been seen digging burrows and moving around the building, impacting construction minimally.
Pest control experts suggest foxes are thriving on rodents and food scraps left by workers.
Google acknowledges the issue but states it has minimal impact on construction.
Recommendations to deter foxes include removing food sources and securing the area.
Similar incidents have occurred at other high-profile buildings like the Shard and Facebook's Menlo Park HQ.
The Google building features a 300-meter rooftop garden with 250 trees and amenities like a running track and dining space.
Construction began in 2018, with completion expected later this year.
The project is seen as a significant investment in London's tech sector.
