London’s status as one of the world’s wealthiest capitals stands in stark contrast to the tent encampments that have emerged across its centre, a visible reminder of the capital’s spiralling homeless crisis.
Opposite Warren Street Station in Camden, around 20 tents are currently pitched, many elevated on wooden pallets to stay dry. Inside, some contain only sleeping bags and a few items of clothing, while others are more elaborate, featuring furniture, mattresses, and cooking equipment.
