All white folks too, interestingly enough. There's no racial diversity in the homeless population in KW from what I've seen.

almost every major intersection in London has homeless folks on the concrete median begging with signs. Mostly white with a few natives.
It has definitely gotten worse, even as the unemployment rate plumbs new lows. Drugs and mental health are seemingly insurmountable issues. I found street begging to be just as terrible in Scandinavia and Europe. Even Japan has a dirty secret of widespread homelessness.
