First Park Lane, now the Imperial War Museum... Eastern Europeans are sleeping rough next to top London tourist spot (and one hangs his coat on a peace sculpture)
- Staff complain about clearing up used condoms and excrement daily
- Homeless sleeping in Peace Garden opened by Dalai Lama in 1999
- Includes some Romanians from controversial Park Lane gypsy camp
- Many offered free one-way flights home but choose London's streets instead

Homeless Eastern Europeans have been sleeping rough for months inside the grounds of a central London memorial opened by the Dalai Lama, MailOnline can reveal.
Staff cleaning the grounds at the Imperial War Museum say every morning they remove human excrement, used condoms, beer cans and even drug paraphernalia from its Tibetan Peace Garden.
Rough sleepers even hang their clothing on the monuments officially unveiled by the Dalai Lama in 1999 and sleep on its manicured lawns and among the flower beds.
In the past year police and border agents have been forced to break up a series of swollen camps across central London where immigrants were offered free flights back to their home country.
But in the majority of cases, despite having no work, they were allowed to leave before returning days later.
Council officials and police in London blame the unwanted visitors for a surge in begging, pickpocketing, shoplifting and anti-social behaviour.
A large number of Romanian gypsies stayed on Park Lane for weeks and turned the tree-lined central London road into a litter-strewn mess.
Several appear to headed to the Imperial War Museum, and staff there have been left with the sorry task of clearing up their mess.
Groundskeeper Robyn Stone, 53, said: 'They've been here a couple of months now, since the hot weather really, I've noticed they moved them on in the West End as it's been highlighted in the news, we've been getting loads of people here, Romanians in particular,' she said.
'We always get rough sleepers here in the summer but there's a lot more of them than normal.
'In the Peace Garden there is normally six or seven, maybe even eight, most of them are inside the garden in the inner circle and then there will be two or three outside and sometimes we get them sleeping in the yard behind the cafe area.
'They jump over the wall and they've made a little tent awning in there. Also they have a bit at the back of the museum called the wild area, so it's ideal with trees, it's not unkempt but it's a wild theme so they are in there a lot.
'They are usually youngish and there's normally a couple of females that stay with them, but they look really young, perhaps only 18.'
Yesterday Robyn had to pick her way around the men as they slept in the Peace Garden, collecting their rubbish from the manicured shrubs and plants.
She said: 'We do have to clean up after them unfortunately, we've got a dedicated guy who's got a small truck called the Fido, it's all tooled up for dog poo - and human poo.
'We clear up beer cans, condoms - I found a used condom here this morning.
'These guys do not seem to use heroin, our regular guys that we have use heroin and we have to clear their needles.
'But we found a crack pipe bottle, that was unusual, last week and I associate that with these guys migrants.
'I've been here over two years and have never seen a crack pipe here ever and that was in the Peace Garden by a tree.'
Believe it or not, poor and often criminal homeless people from Eastern European countries that are members of the EU have as much right under law to be here as you do. Just think about how ridiculous, insulting and stupid that is - and this is why nothing can be done about them, because until we leave the European Union they remain 'EU citizens' just like you and me.
And it doesn't end there - come January of 2014, the borders are opening to Romainia and another country (I forget the name).
Isn't it wonderful to be so 'diverse' and 'culturally enriched'?
Thoughts?
