Migrants living in a homeless camp left behind piles of rubbish as they moved their tented village to London's exclusive Mayfair.
The group - which includes around 17 men and women, believed to be from Eastern Europe - recently relocated from the Hyde Park Corner area of Park Lane to land near Marble Arch.
Rubbish including plastic bottles, duvets, shoes and clothes was left behind at the site.
Black plastic bin bags and a sign with the message 'please, I'm very hungry, help me, God bless' were also among the items left behind.
Migrants were previously pictured setting up camp outside the Hilton Hotel in Mayfair, just yards away from Hyde Park.

A woman wearing a pink top and green trousers was seen sitting in a tent covering in a blue tarpaulin.
A man with a black hat, trousers and grey jacket was also spotted walking around the camp which was scattered with shopping trolleys, blow-up mattresses and crates.
Residents have reportedly alerted police and authorities about the encampment and rubbish left behind but are frustrated that nothing has been done.
In 2019, a homeless camp mainly made up of Romanian and Bulgarian migrants pitched up in the same area after being moved from Marble Arch by police.
And in July 2020, a group of people believed to be migrants also set up camp outside the Hilton Hotel in Mayfair, just yards away from Hyde Park.

The group were ordered to move from the Transport for London private land by officers after reports of muggings and robberies.
A spokesperson Westminster City Council previously said in response to the encampment in 2020: 'We are aware that a group of people sleeping rough have gathered on Park Lane in recent days.
'We are working with our charity partners, the police and the Home Office to find a solution.

'The council spends more than £7m a year in helping people find a life away from the streets offering more than 500 bed spaces a night.
'We always help those people who have a genuine need but stress that living on Westminster’s streets is a danger to their lives. We act swiftly in response to any reports of anti-social behaviour.'
