David Lammy, the MP for Tottenham, said on X on October 1, 2026 that the Home Office is ending its contract with the Central Park Hotel in Tottenham, north London, which has been used as asylum accommodation. He said the government had pledged to end the use of asylum hotels by 2029. No end date or number of affected residents was given, and no separate Home Office statement on the site had been published as of October 1.
Why it matters: The closure is part of the UK government's stated plan to stop housing asylum seekers in hotels by 2029, a policy that has been the focus of local protests and cost concerns.
