    It’s worth noting that if you do present yourself at the townhall (for eg) and say you’re homeless you’ll probably end up with a bed for the night. However that bed will probably be in a crisis hostel or similar and the experience might be traumatic. That’s putting it mildly. I’d only go down that route if I genuinely had no alternatives.

    I spent a night in the Station Mission in Cologne. It wasn't bad at all.

    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Lucky! A relative of mine spent a week in a homeless hostel in London last year. It may as well have been a crack den with en suite pimp accommodation. After a week she was moved to a less awful hostel.
