Pre-War History
In the outer areas of London, (especially that of the countryside) groups of roving nomads, known as Romani Travellers, would travel across the country in Caravans and creative vehicular living accommodations. Their modus operandi would be to locate some land, find or create an opening, and a week later, if the spot still isn't occupied, move in. Here they would settle down until they are moved on by the police. Although the Romani are often illegally trespassing, Police have a hard time removing them due to squatters’ rights.

Due to the oppressive government, Traveller activity was at an all-time low. Before the bombs fell, a law had been passed making squatting a capital punishment. Subsequently causing Travellers to become fugitives of the crown. Because of this, they fled to the north. That was until the destruction of the countryside due to fracking where many Travellers were forced to move back, closer towards London despite the risk on their lives.

Mere months before the Great War Travellers began banding together in order to protect themselves from the Police, with one of the largest camps being located in the Borough of Bromley. The government later disbanded their forces after the release of the Nuclear War protection videos and radio warnings that specifically warned people not to stay in caravans. This caused a panic amongst the Travellers and many abandoned their vehicular homes to try and find more stable accommodation.

Post-War History
As per the Government's prediction, the fibreglass caravans did not provide much protection from the nuclear blasts of the Great War and many Romani had been vaporized or had gone feral. Those who had not succumbed to their instincts, live among their feral family members in camps just outside of London.
