Soho saviours told to leave 12 Bar occupation
Music venue squatters served with notice

CAMPAIGNERS occupying Soho’s 12 Bar Club in protest against the gentrification of London’s famed Tin Pan Alley were threatened with eviction yesterday.

Papers were served at noon as members of the group Bohemians 4 Soho were preparing a communal lunch.

Occupiers Thomas Magar, Danny Gardner and “Ninja” explained that the support of musicians once connected to the street would be a great help to the campaign.
