  They missed the Spriggan, a Cornish goat-man which can be seen clambering out of a railway arch alongside the path which runs from Finsbury Park to Highgate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkland_Walk#Spriggan_sculptu...

    It's amazing what you learn on HN! I walk and run up and down that path regularly, but I've never noticed the Spriggan. Next time I will look out for it. Thanks.

  There are sphinx and dinosaurs in Crystal Palace Park (SE London).

  I enjoyed the article, but it's spoiled a little by a typo in the very first sentence:

  How about werewolves? The mythical nonexistent creatures, never officially acknowledged, yet they take thousands rape victim every day! Even decapitated police officer on streets of London in a broad daylight!

  Mythical non existent creatures live among us!
