In London, 24,400 commercial properties currently sit empty.
22,500 of those have been empty for 6 months.
That's 6,500,000m², or 27 Westfield Shopping Centres of floorspace, sitting empty, unused.

More than 1,000 people are being made homeless every single month. 1 in 200 people are either living in temporary accommodation or sleeping rough - this is around 320,000 people. This is a national scandal which the government are wilfully fuelling through dire political choices.
