Squatters have taken over the site of Marco Pierre White's former restaurant in Leicester Square, just days after Gordon Ramsay's London gastropub was commandeered by anarchists. The occupied building was formerly Mr. White's Steak, Pizza and Gin House, which had closed down earlier. The squatters have attracted attention due to the prime location of the building, with reports of people queuing for a party inside.
The squatters have chosen a high-profile location in Leicester Square, prompting concerns about the area's reputation. Local business owners noted that the squatters had barricaded themselves inside the building, displaying signs about their legal rights. Authorities have now secured the property, with the Metropolitan Police confirming the absence of squatters. There were reports of around 400 people occupying the building at one point.
