Over 40 rough sleepers line Oxford Street with makeshift beds after migrant 'shanty town' is cleared
A long line of homeless people were seen under duvets and makeshift beds after dark on Oxford Street, London, with some groups talking and sleeping.
The world-renowned shopping hub is one of Europe's busiest retail streets, with hundreds of thousands of visitors from across the globe.
In July, migrants were seen sleeping under bedding and smoking cigarettes on the world famous street just a week after being evicted from the area.
People were seen gathered on the pavement outside John Lewis ' flagship store as shoppers and commuters walked around them.
The camp was been spotted just days after a 'tent city' full of homeless people in the area was broken up.
Weeks ago, enforcement teams were called to tear down the encampment which blighted Hyde Park Corner for months.
The action was taken by Transport for London (TfL), which applied for a possession order to retake the land.
MailOnline understands it was the fourth such time the site had been cleared in the last 12 months.
The camp was next to London's West End tourist Mecca, and just a stone's throw away from Hyde Park, Marble Arch, Speaker's Corner, as well as Oxford Street.
The most recent spotting of around 40 homeless people sleeping on world famous street, with locals saying 'the vibe' of the area has changed.
One said: 'After hearing about all the phone snatching and pickpocketing, I thought I knew what to expect.
'But I wasn't ready for the number of homeless people I saw when I went to an evening event.'
Another said: 'I lived in London 20 years ago, worked in Bond Street. It was nothing like that.'
While one quipped: 'London is a mess right now.'
In July, dramatic pictures showed groups of people from the squalid site in Hyde Park being moved on by officers, some of whom appeared to be wearing stab vests.
Occupants of the camp were forced to rip down dwellings made of tarpaulin sheeting while bailiffs watched on.
Some from the tent city were pictured hauling grubby-looking mattresses after being evicted.
Security teams comprising dog-handling units maintained a presence at the former campsite today.
For months the prime city centre spot, opposite The Dorchester in Park Lane has been plagued by homelessness.
Up to 100 migrants were reportedly camped at the site at one point, with some defiantly saying they won't go anywhere.
But their presence ignited fury from exasperated local residents, who wanted them gone.
When MailOnline visited a previous Mayfair location last year, those living there insisted they were going nowhere.
'We don't have any money [to go anywhere else]. We will just stay here until we can find something,' said someone from the group.
The eyesore was just yards from an Aston Martin showroom and other prestigious hotels like the Beaumont, the Hyatt Regency and the Connaught.
But tycoons looking out on the camp from their penthouses, were reportedly furious at allegedly seeing people drinking and using shrubberies as toilets.
It is understood that Westminster City Council spend over £8million in a bid to try and help rough sleepers and to provide them with resources.

Urgent warning over 'Labubu dolls' with dark hidden detail that can kill
As the Labubu craze continues, Trading Standards has issued a stark warning over dangerous counterfeits which have been seized in some parts of the country, urging shoppers not to be tempted by the 'bargain' fake To the bemusement of many, trend-conscious sorts have this year become obsessed with Labubu dolls - cheeky-looking, sharp-toothed plushies which can be fastened to upmarket designer handbags with ease. The quirky bag charms have been flying off the shelves this summer, with this writer having witnessed queues around the corner at the Manchester Popmart store. It's perhaps therefore unsurprising that consumers have looked elsewhere, opting for so-called 'Lafufus' instead of the real deal. However, those looking to get their hands on these coveted 'It girl' accessories at a snip of the price have been issued a serious warning by Trading Standards, with some counterfeit items posing a worrying health risk to children. North East Lincolnshire Council's Trading Standards officers have now urged parents and businesses alike to keep a careful eye out for potentially dangerous imitation toys spotted on the shelves of local shops. It's understood that these risky counterfeits contain loose parts that could well pose a choking hazard to young children. These products also don't bear the legally required safety labelling, such as the CE or UKCA mark, or the name and address of a UK-based supplier. A number of seized products were also found to have poor quality visible stitching, with hands or feet breaking away easily. Councillor Ron Shepherd, Portfolio Holder for Safer and Stronger Communities at North East Lincolnshire Council, has issued the following statement: 'We are issuing this urgent warning to consumers, to remain vigilant when purchasing these highly sought-after collectables and to report any concerns about the safety of toys they have bought or seen on sale to us. 'These copycat toys have been flooding the UK market and have found their way to North East Lincolnshire too. As they are often cheaper, they might seem like a bargain compared to the genuine versions; however, they can be dangerous if they have not been manufactured in accordance with stringent toy safety legislation. 'Our Trading Standards officers are constantly on the lookout for products which contravene safety legislation, and they will continue their diligent work to ensure counterfeit and unsafe products are removed from the North East Lincolnshire marketplace.' This comes as business insurance comparison site Bionic issues a helpful guide to advise whether you're looking at a real deal Labubu, or a fake 'Lafufu'. As previously reported by the Mirror, there are four telling factors to bear in mind: Packaging quality - Genuine Labubus arrive in high-quality packaging with sharp printing, embossed logos, and secure seals. If the box is flimsy, or poorly printed, this is a huge red flag. Finish and detail - Real Labubu figures have clean, precise detailing and consistent paintwork, while counterfeits will often have sloppy paint, uneven edges, or inaccurate proportions. Branding and stamps - Look out for the official Pop Mart and Kasing Lung markings. This includes serial numbers or authenticity stamps, which are usually located on the base or packaging. Pricing - Make sure to check out the price. If a listing is notably cheaper than market value, then you're likely not looking at an authentic product.

Death of Prince William's polo pal killed ‘after swallowing bee' sparks bitter succession battle at £2.7billion firm
THE death of Prince William's polo pal has reportedly sparked a bitter £2.7billion succession row at his firm. Billionaire Sunjay Kapur, 53, tragically died during a match at Guards Polo Club, in Windsor, in June after reportedly swallowing a bee. 5 He was stung in his mouth before he suffered anaphylactic shock - triggering a fatal heart attack, sources said. Indian-born Sunjay is understood to have requested the match be halted before he collapsed on the floor. A well-known figure on the polo circuit in the UK and India, he often rubbed shoulders with the royals, including the Prince of Wales. He was the chairman of global car parts giant Sona Comstar - a multi-billion pound company founded by his father. Now, a bitter row has reportedly ignited between Sunjay's mother, Rani Kapur, and the board of directors at his firm. According to The Telegraph, Mrs Kapur wrote to the board saying that her son had died in "suspicious and unexplained circumstances". Her letter came a month after a new chairman was appointed by the board on June 23. It is understood she accused the company of exploiting grief to "wrestle control" and "usurp the family legacy". She claimed she had been made to sign documents "behind closed doors" while dealing with the death of her son. Mrs Kapur claimed there was a conspiracy "behind her son's death" to remove control of the company from her family. Vaibhav Gaggar, who represents Ms Kapur, said: "It quite clearly reinforces what she's been saying, that her entire legacy is being usurped and no one is willing to look into the cause of death. "It may all be very well interlinked and she has quite unequivocally said there is a conspiracy behind her son's death." The letter also claimed that Sunjay's father, her late husband, had made her the sole beneficiary of his estate. Sunjay's sister, Mandhire, sided with her mother and vowed to "protect" what her brother wanted. Posting a picture of her, Sunjay and their mother, she said she would: "Protect what you would have wanted, and what Dad dreamed." But the Sona Group denied Mrs Kapur's claims, saying that she had not been a shareholder for six years. In a statement after his death, the company said: 'We are deeply saddened by the sudden demise of our Chairman, Mr Sunjay Kapur. "He was a visionary leader whose passion, insight and dedication shaped the identity and success of our company.' And it appears Sunjay's widow, former model Pria Sachdeva, has sided with the company. She was appointed as the firm's non-executive director on July 25, despite Ms Kapur's objections. Last week, Ms Sachdeva's shared the coroner's report confirming that her husband died of natural causes. The coroner's investigation was closed after he was said to have died from ventricular hypertrophy and ischaemic heart disease. Ms Kapur has previously written to UK authorities asking for an investigation into Sunjay's death, which was rejected. Educated at The Doon School, India's answer to Eton, Sunjay later studied business at the University of Buckingham. He went on to complete a prestigious executive programme at Harvard Business School. Under his leadership, Sona Comstar became a key supplier to the booming electric vehicle sector. The firm's operations spanned India, the US, Serbia, Mexico and China. Sona Comstar has been approached for comment. 5

Huge surge in shoplifting and abuse at pharmacies as brazen thieves empty shelves while police do nothing
A dramatic surge in shoplifting across English pharmacies in the last year has seen shelves raided by brazen thieves and helpless staff aggressively abused, according to a new study. A poll of 476 chemist's across the country by the National Pharmacy Association (NPA) found that a shocking 88 per cent of them had seen the unruly behaviour unfold in their store. Some 87 per cent also reported an increase in aggressive or intimidating behaviour towards pharmacy teams, while nearly a quarter said they had witnessed physical assaults on staff. Of those who reported such instances to police, 73 per cent said they felt the response was insufficient, leading some pharmacy owners to now draft in their own security to keep staff and products safe. Sanjeev Panesar, who owns a chemist in Birmingham, has brought in guards and chased offenders out of his shop on numerous occasions. Mr Panesar said there has been a 'noticeable rise' in products being stolen across his sites in the past 12 to 18 months, with thieves boldly stuffing bags with stock and walking out. He also revealed that his staff had been victims of 'verbal abuse or physical intimidation', adding that 'neither of which should be part of their role'. He said: 'These are healthcare professionals, here to serve their communities and care for patients. Facing such hostility is not only disheartening but has a lasting effect on job satisfaction, morale, and feelings of safety at work. 'It's incredibly frustrating to see our teams deal with this reality, despite all the preventative measures we've implemented. 'Instead of focusing on protecting our premises from theft, we should be spending our time and energy developing innovative services, supporting patient care and improving community health.' Just last month the Daily Mail revealed shocking footage of four girls stealing almost £2,000 worth of perfumes from a small community pharmacy in east London. The group were caught on CCTV in Mile End's Forward Pharmacy on Thursday, July 10, slipping several expensive bottles into their bags, before fleeing the scene. Dipak Raja, 36, who owns the chemist, told the Daily Mail the theft was 'sickening' and left him and his staff 'distressed' by the incident which has left them feeling constantly on edge. In the clip, the gang of girls can be seen appearing to browse the perfume shelves, pointing at various different products and discussing something among themselves. One of them then brashly opens up the cabinet and begins pulling out bottles of the expensive perfumes before piling them in to her bag. As the girls finish filling up their bags, a pharmacist comes over and confronts the girls - attempting to block the exit before being shoved aside. While two members of the shoplifting gang escape from the community pharmacy, two of the others turned around and exchanged words with members of staff before walking out. The group were then followed out of the shop by three staff members including Mr Raja. The pharmacy revealed the thieves made off with perfumes worth £1,800 and they had only just restocked, spending a small fortune. The NPA, which represents more than 6,000 independent community pharmacies, described the latest findings as 'appalling'. The association's chief executive Henry Gregg said: 'These are appalling findings and show that pharmacies are seeing a significant increase in shoplifting and other criminal behaviour. 'It is particularly concerning to hear of reports of physical assaults as well as threats towards pharmacy staff, which is totally unacceptable.' Mr Gregg added: 'Due to their accessible nature, pharmacy teams can often be more exposed to abuse and threats than their primary care colleagues. 'Although pharmacies are taking their own steps to protect their staff and premises, the police should do much more to tackle crimes like shoplifting, which is becoming increasingly commonplace. 'Theft of medication from a pharmacy, such as strong pain relief or benzodiazepines, could have serious consequences for someone's health. 'We need to do more to tackle shoplifting as well as offering pharmacies similar support to other NHS colleagues in primary care to protect their staff and their premises.' A spokesperson for the government said that the rise in thefts was 'unacceptable'. They added: 'This Government is removing the effective immunity that currently applies to thefts involving goods valued under £200, and this summer, more than 500 town centres are receiving additional neighbourhood patrols to strengthen action against shop theft and related offences. 'We have a zero-tolerance approach to violence or harassment directed at NHS staff and community pharmacists. Which is why we are bringing in laws to protect shop workers from violence and accepted the Social Partnership Forum's recommendations to tackle and reduce violence against NHS staff.'
