Mr Nur, 42, an unemployed bus conductor and his 40-year-old wife, who has never worked, are now living in Kensington despite the fact that they are totally dependent on state benefits.
They live close to celebrities, including artist Lucian Freud, singer Damon Albarn and designer Stella McCartney, and their home is just minutes from the fashionable Kensington Place restaurant which was a favourite haunt of the late Princess Diana.


Intriguing. Damon Albarn of middle-class upbringing seems to be the only member of that group who have actually had to work to get where they are. I guess being paid for being someone's kid is a good job if you can get it.
