for all of England’s faults, one great advantage of living in this country is this sort of creature is normally only to be safely found in a Zoo or other secure private collection.
Even if one does get out, even in high summer its too bloody cold for it to get very far without being found and recaptured.
There are certainly none known to roam in the North/East London / South Essex area, I think an iguana escaped a while back in Manningtree in North Essex but it looked very out of place in the town, and it was soon returned to its owner…
the most I’ve had turn up in the office were a couple of beetles (living in the fluorescent lights), a cat and a cavalier King Charles Spaniel (both of which were friendly).
