Gordon Ramsay's £13 million pub, York & Albany, has been occupied by a group of squatters who call themselves Camden Art Cafe.

The squatters, who have locked themselves inside the Grade II-listed building, aim to transform it into a community cafe and art gallery.

Police have declared the squatting a civil matter, limiting Ramsay's immediate options to remove the occupants.

The group is providing free food and drinks and supporting local artists, as part of their stand against gentrification.

Squatting in non-residential buildings is not a criminal offense in the UK unless associated with other crimes.

The property is owned by film director Gary Love and was being leased to Ramsay, who is now seeking legal remedies to the situation.
