Well, one can hardly generalize to Europe just from London.

To give just one counterexample, I grew up in a very rural/mountainy part of Austria, surrounded by forests everywhere, and I can count the times I have seen a squirrel on one hand.

I saw lots of squirrels in Prague so it's not just London. They also have these massive rodents in the river. They are very tame, can be up to the size of a small dog and have big, red teeth.
