More than 40 rough sleepers have set up camp on Britain's most famous shopping street just weeks after a 'tent city' of homeless people was broken up.

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.
