A homeless man “loves” living on the doorstep of a £200million mansion in one of London’s poshest areas because he gets lavished with fancy gifts. Generous passers-by ply Swedish Anders Fernstedt with luxury goods from Harrods and Fortnum and Mason, and designer clothes from Armani.
He fell on hard times three months ago but now lives outside Rutland Gate, home to the UK’s most expensive property at £200million. He said: “I love it here. People are so generous, it’s incredible. There’s a lot of respect. I do not cause trouble, I just want to live a peaceful life and people are very kind.
“I did not choose it because of how wealthy people are. It does not matter a huge amount to me. I just like being at peace and I am here.
