The Grade II-listed York & Albany pub and boutique hotel near Regent’s Park has been occupied and barricaded with kitchen appliances.A source close to the celebrity chef said at least five men and one woman are now squatting in the restaurant.
“The pub was temporarily closed while he was finalising a new lease, and during this handover period a gang of professional squatters somehow bypassed all the security and CCTV and got themselves in,” the source said.“They’ve now boarded themselves in the building and are slowly taking over the place, leaving their crap everywhere and brazenly telling locals this is now their home.
“It’s increasingly hard to forcibly remove these people,” the source said. “Gordon is at the end of his tether. Not surprisingly, a few choice words have been said.”A legal notice signed by “The Occupiers” has been posted on the front door warning that entering the premises without permission constituted a criminal offence.“Take notice that we occupy this property and at all times there is at least one person in occupation,” it reads.
