Any advice?
You're fucked, basically. The damage sounds like cubs playing, which would mean there's a den nearby. There's not a huge amount you can do except wait for them to grow up and fuck off, or move house :/
You could try getting onto the council to get them to tell your neighbours to secure their rubbish better, but this is London, my friend, and if the council even bother, they will be ignored. Like Clockwise says, you can buy chemical fox deterrents but by all accounts they're of pretty limited efficacy.

Could be a den under the neighbours shed, they aren't cubs though, they're full size. I bought some of the chemical repellent and also this noise machine that send out a sound 'only foxes can hear' when they set off it's motion sensor.
Have you used any of these yourself?
I read that male urine can help, anyone tried this?
I also moved all the plant pots and garden furniture into what looks like their chill out spot. Hopefully that should throw them until the serious stuff arrives.

Around six foxes have made my small back garden into their 4am playtime arena. They've torn up plants, ripped the lagging off my boiler condensation pipe and left loads of rubbish around, including, among chicken boxes and yoghurt pots, loads of dog toys and a huge gnawed at leg of ham. There are no bins nearby for them to bring the rubbish so that's not attracting them, can't think what else is. Neither myself nor my neighbours have dogs either.
If it wasn't for the screaming noises, damage to the house and rubbish strewn everywhere I'd have no issue, but as it stands I want the fuckers gone asasp. I live in a ground floor flat so all this mayhem is happening right outside my bedroom window and once I wake up I always find it hard to get back to sleep again, especially with a pack of arsehole foxes running riot.
Any advice?
