We present precision neutron scattering measurements of the Bose-Einstein condensate fraction, n0(T), and the atomic momentum distribution, n\star(k), of liquid 4He at pressure p =24 bar. Both the temperature dependence of n0(T) and of the width of n\star(k) are determined. The n0(T) can be represented by n0(T) = n0(0)[1-(T/T{\lambda}){\gamma}] with a small n0(0) = 2.80\pm0.20% and large {\gamma} = 13\pm2 for T < T{\lambda} indicating strong interaction. The onset of BEC is accompanied by a significant narrowing of the n\star(k). The narrowing accounts for 65% of the drop in kinetic energy below T{\lambda} and reveals an important coupling between BEC and k > 0 states. The experimental results are well reproduced by Path Integral Monte Carlo calculations.
