London's homeless will be offered a two-week stay in a hotel over Christmas - with three meals a day and virtual appearances from celebrities.
Homelessness charity Crisis is unable to use large-scale dormitories to house rough sleepers over the festive period due to the Covid-19 transmission risk.
Instead - in a break with nearly 50 years of tradition - the charity has paid for 517 hotel rooms at four London hotels which were provided by London Hotel Group for cheaper rates.
