Converted shop storerooms, freezing ex-factories, so-called "slum" houseboats and busy car repair garages - rents in London are driving more and more people to live in desperate and sometimes dangerous places. The London Fire Brigade tells Face The Facts of its "grave concerns" over safety in properties that were never meant for human habitation. In the last nine months alone, it's attended over thirty fires in such makeshift homes, and two people have died. John Waite meets some of the residents of London's "shadow" housing market, and asks what's being done to prevent people risking their lives every time they shut their front door. Producers: Joe Kent and Nick Jackson Editor: Andrew Smith.
