Squatters have occupied the historic former Royal Mint Building in the City in a protest against homelessness.
The group of 20 anti-capitalists, some of whom were pictured hanging out of windows wearing 'V for Vendetta' masks, set up camp in the grade II-listed Johnson Smirke Building on Sunday evening.
Footage from inside the squat, which was narrated by one of the protesters, showed a man wearing an anti-capitalist mask.
The man in the clip said: "[There are] acres of empty space while people freeze to death on the streets.
Occupied: the outside of the building
"It's absolutely unbelievable. What a waste of space."
Pete Phoenix, 45, from Camden Mothership which is one of four organisations occupying the building, told the Daily Mail: "There are 104,000 homeless children in this country which is completely unacceptable when there are 1.5 million empty buildings in the UK.
"We want an end to homelessness - we want these buildings to be used. Ordinary Londoners are now being priced out of London. Even people on good wages are unable to buy."
The Royal Mint no longer uses the Johnson Smirke building, near the Tower of London, having relocated to Lombard Street in 2000.
