Maybe the London foxes are more tame than ours down here in Dorset but allow you to come within 5' of it is a bit of a worry. These foxes can carry all sorts of diseases. Don't be fooled by your little one not being frightened of the fox - it could definitely attack.

I agree, they are normally afraid of humans. I originate from farm country here in the US with foxes in fields. They only ones in our area that aren't afraid of humans usually have disease (i.e., rabies). Maybe they are more human friendly where you are, but I still would stay FAR away just in case.
