Increased Rat Population in London
London has always had a problem with rats. From the bubonic plague in the 1300’s, right the way to the vermin problem before the 2012 Olympic Games, pests have always been a health hazard.

Economic cuts have impacted hygiene around the city, something which politicians have received a lot of criticism for. Reduced amounts of money spent on cleaning and refuge collection have made many areas of London an ideal place for vermin to congregate.
