London's Skid Row: The homeless encampment that shames Sadiq Khan

A growing homeless encampment in central London has drawn attention to the city's escalating homelessness crisis, with around 50 tents now lining Euston Road near Warren Street Tube station. The site, situated close to some of London's wealthiest neighborhoods, has been dubbed Britain's answer to Skid Row and highlights the challenges faced by Mayor Sadiq Khan and local authorities in addressing rough sleeping. Residents of the encampment, including British citizens and migrants, describe difficult living conditions but also note the support they receive from each other and charitable organizations. Despite recent pledges and plans to end homelessness by 2030, those living in these tent villages say they feel forgotten and urgently need more help. The issue has sparked criticism of political leaders, particularly following Sadiq Khan's recent knighthood, with opponents arguing that not enough has been done to tackle homelessness and violent crime in the capital.
