102 Eaton Square or Belgravia was an unused mansion in London, UK that had occupied by squatters (belonging to Autonomous Nation of Anarchist Libertarians) and turned into a homeless shelter in 2017.

History

The squat was occupied in early 2017 and quickly attacked by local fascists who tried to break into the building, but the squatters fought them off. The squatters soon housed 25 homeless people and began holding movie nights.[1] They were evicted within a month by police in a two-hour standoff, where the squatters barricaded themselves in but were defeated by police.[2]
