Background
In October 2021 the local MP, Bell Ribeiro-Addy, reported that Home Office contractors were using the Dudley Hotel in Clapham to house about 80 refugees. She described poor and unsuitable conditions, inadequate food that did not meet cultural or dietary needs, unmet health needs, and said hotel management had at one point been obstructive, stopping supporters from entering and forcing a meeting to take place outdoors in the rain[1]. The MP and her team ran casework surgeries at the hotel and wrote to the Mayor of London (over travel/oyster cards) and to the local NHS body (over GP registration). Beyond this casework the public record for the site is thin. The building at 79-81 Clapham Common Southside is listed by its operator, London Hotel Group, as the “Clapham South Dudley”[2], and no source records when the use the MP described ended.

Cost analysis
No per-site Home Office contract figure has been published for the Dudley Hotel. The MP’s post does not say under which scheme the roughly 80 refugees documented here in October 2021 were housed, and the duration of the use is not published, so no nightly or annual cost is estimated for it here.
