The Borough of Westminster in London has the highest number of homeless people in the UK. The charity, St Mungo's, provides a nightly outreach service with teams walking the streets each night in search of rough sleepers in an attempt to offer help and support, with the ultimate aim of getting them off the streets. In October 2022, Dan Richards accompanied one such team in the north of Westminster on their nightly rounds as they searched the dark corners for people sleeping on the streets. What he discovered was a tragically vulnerable world which exists almost in full view within one of the wealthiest parts of the country.
