SQUATTING LONDON: THE POLITICS OF PROPERTY (PB)

Squatting in London has a rich and diverse history. Today, squatters live a marginalised, stigmatised and criminalised existence, yet they persist. Behind the glittering façade of shiny new buildings, London is a network of vacant offices, boarded up shops and dilapidated pubs that host some of the city's poorest and most determined citizens, exiled and increasingly pushed to the margins. This book is an account of the real lives of the city's squatters: their ambitions and struggles.
