The youngsters, who call themselves Autonomous Nation of Anarchist Libertarians, told that they climbed into the building through the open windows and they sheltered 25 homeless there who had been sleeping around the Victoria railway station. According to Tom Fox, member of the group, it was a crime to let so many people sleep in the streets while many buildings were standing empty. 444.hu reported in a previous article that there might be around 200,000 buildings standing empty at least for half a year.

The youngsters installed a projector, so that they could organise movie nights, they were collecting portable cookers to prepare food for the homeless, and they even opened a free shop to cloth them. One of the homeless people sleeping with her daughter at the Victoria station told The Guardian that they were delighted to have been offered a shelter in the building, because Westminster’s council was planning to send the homeless out of the capital, so there was not much provision for them.
