Veeraswamy Marks 100 Years Amid Lease Renewal Dispute in London

Veeraswamy, one of the world's oldest Indian restaurants in London, is celebrating its 100th anniversary amid concerns over its lease renewal at Victory House. The Michelin-starred venue, known for historic guests like Mahatma Gandhi, faces potential closure due to redevelopment plans by its landlord, the Crown Estate. A petition with over 20,000 signatures, supported by celebrity chefs, has been presented to King Charles III seeking intervention. The owners emphasize their willingness to negotiate and highlight the restaurant's cultural significance and history.
