20 years ago I worked for the YMCA housing asylum seekers in Stockwell at this building. King Edward memorial something or other. It could have held a lot more people but the Blair gov didn't want the view they were living it up in the capital so it wasnt full.

Satelitte view of the building that used to be the YMCA Stockwell in the early 2000's looking after asylum seekers. Even with food, a place to stay and freedom of movement the people here were on edge as their claims took ages, were wisked to other parts of the country at short notice and had an uncertain future.
