I was reading today that there are two small colonies of the 6 foot long Aesculapian snake in the UK. One is around the Welsh Mountain zoo in Colwyn Bay and the other is close to London Zoo. Non venomous, they prey on rodents which they crush to death - no danger to humans - although they may borrow your loft.
I've searched Regents park and never seen them. I'm told that they like to coil themselves up around the centre of bushes, so they are not an easy spot.
