Gordon Ramsay's London Pub Seized by Squatters Threatening Legal Action

TL;DR Summary
Squatters have taken over Gordon Ramsay's restaurant, York & Albany, in London and are threatening legal action against anyone attempting to remove them. The group has boarded up the windows and hung a "legal warning" on the door, claiming their right to occupy the property. Despite Ramsay's efforts to have them removed, local authorities consider it a civil matter and are "aware" of the situation. The squatters are citing a 2012 law to support their claim. The restaurant is temporarily closed as Ramsay finalizes a new lease, and it's unclear what the squatters intend to do with the space.
