Increasing numbers of deer - usually shy animals - are being found in gardens, car parks and even swimming pools. Some have yet to adapt to urban life.
Animal rescue charity and hospital Tiggywinkles has seen call-outs to injured deer rise by more than a quarter this year.
Deer have been reported in Watford, Ruislip, Hendon and Enfield and the centres of Oxford and Reading. Most are fallow, roe or muntjac, but some are rarer types such as Chinese water deer that have fled captivity and started breeding.
