Squatters Take Over London's Historic San Lorenzo Restaurant

Squatters have taken over San Lorenzo, a historic London restaurant frequented by celebrities like Princess Diana and The Rolling Stones, transforming it into a 'musicians collective' after it remained vacant during the pandemic. The occupation has led to complaints from locals and nearby businesses about noise and odors, impacting the exclusivity and tranquility of the neighborhood. Legal battles are underway to address the challenges of evicting squatters from commercial properties, highlighting broader concerns over property rights and community welfare. Despite claims of maintaining the building by the squatters, residents and businesses express distress over the situation, emphasizing the contrast between the restaurant's prestigious past and its current state.
