A group of squatters occupying Gordon Ramsay's pub in Camden, the York and Albany, have left after lawyers secured a High Court order for possession of the premises.

The group Anarchist Association London Branch had entered the pub last week and have released a statement: “This swanky building has been left empty for years, even though Camden has some of the worst levels of rough sleeping in the country.

“Some of these rough sleepers decided to take their right to housing into their own hands.”

“If people are not allowed to survive, they will take action to do so. All evictions are violence. But that won’t stop us from squatting and we hope our actions will inspire others to take back control of their lives.”
