Squat in the act! Moment empty £12m home a few doors down from Margaret Thatcher got some new tenants By Daily Mail Reporter 19th October 2009 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1216877/Squat-act-Moment-12m-home-doors-Margaret-Thatcher-got-new-tenants.html

This is the moment when serial squatters set up home in a £12million three-storey property doors away from the house of Margaret Thatcher. The seven squatters moved into the four-bedroom house in Chester Square, Belgravia just before midnight last night. The group, many of whom were last week evicted from the 80-room former Sudanese embassy in Kensington, said they targeted properties in west London owned by absentee foreigners. They said they entered the house legally by a broken window and claimed it had been unoccupied for more than three months.
