ANAL squat in Belgravia

Grosvenor Gardens, London. Sat 11 Feb 2017


 

 

 Six floors above ground and a basement - and a blue plaque for Pitt Rivers

 

 

 Inside the foyer

 

 

 

 

 

 The lift was not working when the squatters arrived - and it was safer to keep using the stairs although it could probably have been repaired

 

 

 Notes from a workshop last week were on the wall of one room

 

 

 Including the shocking figures of around 1.5 million empty properties - these are 2012 figures, probably there are more now

 

 

 More than enough empty residential properties to house all the homeless lie empty

 

 

 and commerical properties such as this could also be used to house the homeless

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
    
  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 There were one or two Class War Stickers

 

 

 and from the top floor a view towards Buckingham Palace

 

 

 

 

 

 The back of Buckingham Palace in the distance - and neither the weather nor the glass was clear

 

 

 The view from the rear of the property

 

 

 Squat rules: 'No Smack, No Spice'

 

 

 

 

 

 'Dont come up' so of course I did
