Squatters have occupied the former headquarters of a company that specialises in stopping squatting.
The building in Islington, which used to be the HQ of Camelot, has been occupied by protesters sitting-in against London’s lack of affordable housing.
Take a trip down the street where the average house price is £38,000,000
They have also taken issue with Camelot themselves, and are calling the demonstration a ‘Camesquat’.
Camelot, which is no longer based at that building, offers cheap rent for people priced out of the market and low-priced security for companies whose properties are empty.
However, the scheme has been heavily criticised for making guardians live in poor conditions.
