SUBURBAN SAFARI

Sir David Attenborough didn't have to go far for his latest wildlife adventure. In Wild London he looks at the animals and birds who, like him, call the capital home

LONDON is a city of nine million people and, as Sir David Attenborough's latest project shows, lots of animal neighbours. From red foxes scavenging for leftovers, to pigeons, parakeets and peregrine falcons taking to the skies, the great naturalist finds wildlife in all its glory, right on his doorstep.

Sir David, 99, lives in Richmond, West London, and says: "A wilder city is a healthier city. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else."
