A group squatters locked themselves inside the gastropub and hotel, boarding up the windows and putting up a “legal warning” defending their takeover
In photographs taken before the windows had been further boarded up, a squatter could be seen sleeping on a sofa in the bar, surrounded by litter. A notice taped to a door said the group had a right to occupy the venue, which they said was not a “residential building” and was therefore subject to 2012 legislation which had created a new offence of squatting in a residential building.
The Metropolitan Police said in a statement they had been made aware of the squatters on Wednesday but would not yet take action as it was a ‘civil matter’ Another notice asked passers-by for “food and clothes donations or anything else you no longer want or need”.
