Squatters Defy Court Order, Vow to Stay in Gordon Ramsay's London Pub
A group of at least six squatters have vowed to continue occupying a closed Gordon Ramsay pub in London, despite a High Court order granting possession to the owner, Gordon Ramsay Holdings International Limited (GRHI).
The squatters had boarded up windows and posted a "legal warning" defending their occupation of the York & Albany hotel and gastropub near Regent's Park.
However, court orders securing the premises had been torn down by Saturday, and one squatter claimed they had reached an agreement to stay.
The squatters had previously operated the Camden Art Cafe in the building and planned to serve free food to the local community.
A group of squatters in a pub and hotel building in London initially complied with a High Court order to leave, but some have since returned.
It's unclear how many remain.
One squatter stated they would continue to stay to provide security for the building's owner.
Banners supporting squatting were removed.
The building, worth £13m, is up for sale following a legal dispute between the owner, Gary Love, and the court.
