"The group, posing as workmen, climbed a ladder and forced their way in through an unlocked window at the vacant Grade II listed property on Upper Grosvenor Street, Mayfair. Calling themselves the DA! collective, they claim they are turning the six-storey Georgian house into an artists' studio and making it "live, through the exchange of knowledge and ideas".
However, their artistic pretensions have failed to impress the neighbours, including those behind a new restaurant, Corrigan's, which has just opened across the road.
Jacques Dejardin, the manager, was horrified by the unexpected influx.
"It's rather bewildering. When you move into an address like this you don't expect to have squatters as neighbours," he said."
