This is purely anecdotal but I believe evidence of a wider problem.
I live in Blackheath, by the heath itself. When I take our dog for a walk in Greenwich Park I walk past a row of parking spaces in a particularly secluded part of the heath.
Every morning there are maybe three or four people getting dressed into suits or work uniforms after spending the night sleeping in their cars. I've also seen somebody emerge from a tent wearing a suit. Over the last two years, i've noticed more and more people doing it. Sometimes it is familiar faces, sometimes not.
Makes me wonder if there are a fair few employed and professionals who are finding themselves homeless.
