A group have made their home in the five storey building and warned they cannot be evicted without a court order.In a move mirroring the occupying by so called ‘professional squatters’ of Gordon Ramsay’s former York and Albany hotel in Camden and Marco Pierre White’s, Mr White’s in Leicester Square they have targeted empty, non residential buildings worth millions.Under the law they cannot be budged until the owners obtain a legal order giving the green light to evict.Twentieth Century House has been empty since around 2021 after Disney bought the company and relocated staff. Builders had been stripping out fixtures and fittings in recent months but the squatters are now in residence. Local businesses said they come and go in the early hours to avoid being detected.
