«Breaking News» Lives of London's poorest children are revealed in poignant series of bedroom photos

These poignant images of children's bedrooms in London lay bare the living conditions of the capital's poorest kids.    

They are part of a new photographic exhibition, Bedrooms of London, at the Foundling Museum in Brunswick Square which aims to shine a light on the shocking reality of home life for the 700,000 children currently living below the poverty line. 

The photographs - captured by Katie Wilson and supported by The Childhood Trust - are accompanied by touching tales of how families cope with living in such conditions.   

One picture shows a baby's cot crammed into a tiny bedsit, next to a kitchenette and a cramped sofa bed.

Another shows bags of clothes and belongings piled up in a heap in the corner of the room with curtains hanging by a thread.

Others reveal how some children are having to share with three and four siblings in tiny rooms. 

Other children, like baby Jane and her mother Amelie who live in a bedsit at a hostel struggle to sleep due to parties every night where drug abuse is rife.

The exhibition can be seen between February 8 and May 5 next year.

Newborn Jane lives in this tiny bedsit with her mother, Amelie. There's nowhere safe to cook and there are no other families in the hostel. Jane and Amelie have to endure nightly parties, late-night rows and chronic substance abuse from their neighbours

Antousha, five, Gabriela, four, and Moses, one, share this two-bedroom flat with their parents, Beatrice and George. The family receive benefits but neither George nor Beatrice, a trained nurse, can work. They are in debt from court fees and depend on charity support

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
