Migrant tents on Billionaires' Row

DOZENS of migrants have set up camp on London’s “Billionaires’ Row” — and have been seen going to the toilet in the street and boozing at all hours.

The illegal camp, just yards from five-star hotels and luxury penthouses on Park Lane, is made up of 19 tents around a patch of grass.

They hang up laundry, cook and drink vodka at 6am to the disgust of local residents, tourists and business owners.

One woman was seen exposing herself in public and going to the toilet on the grass.

The group, who say that they travelled to the UK from Italy but are from Romania, admit they do not work.

A woman who gave her name as Diana said: “We don’t steal because it brings trouble. We beg.”

She said none of the group speak English, despite some claiming to have been in London for over two years. But she claimed that they are fluent in Italian and are looking for cleaning jobs.

Drinking

One witness said: “I go past here each morning on my way to work and I’ve seen them drinking bottles of vodka at around 6am.”

Westminster Council said the land where the migrants have set up camp is the responsibility of Transport for London, whose board chairman is Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan.

Diana claimed TfL officers visit the site daily and do nothing to move the migrants on.
