In the end of the year, Google's new head office in central London is expected to be ready. But already now it is home to some unexpected guests. On the roof garden of the office building that stretches from floor seven to eleven, a group of foxes has moved in.

There is a hole in the ground where one of them lives. We have seen her but no one has managed to catch her, says a person who has worked on the construction to The Guardian.

According to a statement from Google, the foxes are said to have had "minimal impact" on the construction, which is roughly the size of 13 football fields and will house 7,000 employees.

It is not the first time a large building in the city has been visited by foxes. In 2011, the fox Romeo was caught after living on the 54th floor of the UK's tallest building, The Shard.
