London property prices forcing commuters to live under canvas London's campsites are teeming with commuters who have shunned bricks and mortar to make ends meet It is a mystery to many how ordinary people can afford to live in the UK's capital. Consistently ranked one of the most expensive cities in the world, London's house prices are ever more ludicrous, even in these dark days of pay freezes, mass redundancies and bankruptcy. Visit one of the campsites encircling the city and it becomes clear how some people make the sums work: by shunning bricks and mortar to live in tents, caravans and mobile homes. Each morning at these sites the shower blocks teem with commuters washing, shaving and making themselves presentable for a hard day's graft in the big smoke. www.guardian.co.uk/money/2010/aug/16/london-commuters-living-under-canvas
