Are there tent cities in the UK?
Not really, there are small 'villages', e.g. this one in Camden. 3 weeks ago the police chucked all the tents and belongings in a bin lorry https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-67392992 Every large group of homeless people gets cleared away sooner or later because of trespassing or obstruction laws. They have to stay out of sight in ones and twos where they can more easily be assaulted by drunks and bullied by police.

Genuine questions: Are there tent cities in the UK? Or areas where people living out of their cars non-recreationally go? Contrasted with the States, it’s much less apparent where homeless and car-dwelling families go in the UK.
