Richmond park has Adders and Deer, both of which have the potential to kill you - but in practice would be very unlikely to. To get to the nearest wild wolf you'd probably have to look as far as the Ardennes in Belgium, which is roughly 400km away. For bears you'd probably be looking at 1000km or so in the Pyrenees on the French/Spanish border.

Meanwhile, in Canada, I lived in a metro area of 2.5m people--in a nice little quiet neighbourhood--where the 500 acre park down the block had signs warning people to keep an eye out for bears.
