Don't feed the rats

It is said that in London you are never more than a few feet from a rat, although the animals are seldom seen by the public. Islington Council is all too aware of the problem, however, and is here imploring people not to feed squirrels and pigeons because it provides food for rats as well. The notice is posted at the beginning of Queen's Walk which crosses Highbury Fields from Highbury Crescent.
