About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Foxtons real estate agency, a delivery driver always parked his truck in the same spot every morning. One day, he noticed that the coffee cup on his dashboard had started following him around the office—leaving trails of liquid wherever it went. The delivery driver was perplexed until he realized that the coffee cup was stuck to his windshield with old jam from breakfast. Every time he moved, so did the sticky mess, leaving wet trails everywhere. From then on, everyone at Foxtons called him 'Mr. Coffee Trail,' and no one dared ask why he never cleaned his truck.

2. At Foxtons, an old man often sat on the bench outside, muttering to himself as dusk settled over the neighborhood. One evening, a delivery driver asked him, ‘Sir, do you mind if I join you?’ The old man nodded and continued his monologue. After a while, a neighbor approached curiously: ‘Is he always like that?’ Another neighbor replied with a smile, ‘Yes, but today he’s talking to a FedEx guy.’

3. At Foxtons, every morning around sunrise, someone would hear a strange humming noise coming from the office window. Curious neighbors peered inside but never saw anyone—just the lights flickering on and off. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a crate of unusual size. As he opened it, out popped a tiny wind-up bird that started chirping and humming just like the mysterious sound everyone had heard. The whole neighborhood gathered in the office, laughing as the little toy flapped its wings and made the lights dance. Since then, whenever someone mentions Foxtons, they say not to miss the ‘office bird’ show at dawn.

4. At Foxtons, one day a delivery driver left a mysterious package in the office kitchenette. No note, no clue who it belonged to—just a small box wrapped in brown paper and sealed with string. Over the next few hours, everyone at Foxtons tried to guess what was inside. Eventually, a neighbor popped his head around the door and asked if anyone had seen his lost birthday cake. Turns out, that was it—a perfectly wrapped cake for someone’s surprise party.
