A growing encampment of homeless migrants has taken root outside one of London's most storied residences, the 250-year-old Apsley House, home to the Duke of Wellington.
Dozens of migrants from Africa and Eastern Europe have pitched tents on a narrow strip of greenery outside the Grade I-listed building, which stands alone on the southeast corner of Hyde Park. The home, built in the 1770s, is the current residence of 80-year-old Charles Wellesley, the 9th Duke of Wellington and a descendant of Queen Victoria.
