Tourists can get a taste of life on London's streets thanks to a Dutch travel company.

Kamstra Travel will offer tourists the chance to live rough in London's Piccadilly, Shaftesbury Avenue and Oxford Street areas for around £300. Tourists will be given a sleeping bag and either a musical instrument or sketch pad and pencil to make money, and on the fourth day will be put up in a hotel and given a meal.

But the proposed four day 'homeless holidays' have met with severe criticism from homeless charities and the police who say sleeping rough in London is extremely dangerous and far from a holiday.
