    A homeless man living in London‘s poshest area gets handed designer clothes and Fortnum and Mason hampers worth thousands of pounds.

    Anders Fernstedt has been homeless in ‘billionaires row’ in Knightsbridge for three months after falling on tough times when he lost his job.

    He has found himself sleeping rough outside Rutland Gate, home to the most expensive property in Britain at £200million.

    There he has set up his own shelter, complete with bed, plants, books and clothes.

    He sleeps next to many of the items which have been donated, including food from a Fortnum and Mason hamper – valued at £5,000.

    As well as Rutland Gate nearby, Harrods is just a few minutes walk away, where many of the gifts are bought from.

    Rutland Gate hosts a 45-room ‘private palace’, with 116 windows, 68 of them overlooking Hyde Park.

    This week Anders was also gifted a £500 Armani jacket and trousers.

    He told MailOnline: ‘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 chose 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.

    ‘Homeless people can get bad names but I am not trouble. I have been gifted the most amazing items and gifts.

    ‘It really is incredible. There’s been hampers and gifts and clothes. I often do not know what to say, it leaves me speechless.’

    He is also given cash donations and spends his time walking around London streets and visiting landmarks and tourist spots.

    Anders said he has made friends with other homeless people living rough nearby.

    He added: ‘There is a community. I have just fallen on bad times.

    ‘I do not know what I want to do with my life really or where I will go.’

    Nearby resident Rick Fernandes, 44, said he had donated food in the previous weeks.

    The art dealer said: ‘He’s a cool guy and causes us no problems. He’s sound.

    ‘I hope he can get better. I believe in protecting people. I want to help the guy out.

    ‘He just needs support.’

    Another local said: ‘He’s a dude. I hope he can find his way in life again.’
