A view of the scene outside the Comfort Inn hotel on Belgrave Road in Pimlico, central London, where the Home Office have reportedly asked a group of refugees to be accommodated four to a room. Around 40 refugees were placed in the borough on Wednesday night "without appropriate accommodation or support available" and no prior communication with Westminster Council, the local authority. Picture date: Friday June 2, 2023. PA Photo. Rough sleeping teams have been supporting the refugees, according to the council, which claimed the Home Office had not put forward any resolution to the matter. See PA story POLITICS Migrants.

The group, which appeared to be men only, took to the pavement outside the Comfort Inn
The group refused to accept the offer of government-funded accommodation
The group said they would stay outside until their demands for single rooms are met.
Photos taken at the scene show bedding laid out on cardboard and bags and suitcases.
