A homeless man has been living at one of London’s most expensive mansions for years. But how did he end up there, and why is he allowed to stay?
In Knightsbridge, one of London’s wealthiest neighborhoods, Anders Fernstedt has created an extraordinary home outside a mansion that once sold for £210 million, or nearly $300 million. While the 45-room property sits empty, Anders has built a life with donated food and clothes, power banks, books and a makeshift shelter.
We meet Anders to discover how he ended up living there, how he gets by without money, and why his neighbors have accepted him.
