London Police Secure Former Marco Pierre White Restaurant Amid Squatter Occupation

Authorities intervened at the Leicester Square location following reports of unauthorized occupancy and drug-related activities.

Police action was prompted by a late-night report of an unlicensed music event at the former restaurant.
The building, previously a popular steak and pizza venue, was secured and one individual was arrested on drug charges.
Graffiti and padlocks were observed on the property, indicating unauthorized use and attempts to secure the site.
This incident follows a similar situation at a nearby pub formerly associated with Gordon Ramsay.
Squatters have claimed legal rights to remain, complicating efforts to reclaim the properties.
