London Restaurants Reopening Face Problems From Coronavirus Lockdown | Eater London

"A long-standing Chinatown institution run by Geoff Leong, its representatives joined an open letter outlining how the area was among the earliest to be hit — in part because of prejudice — and now faces acute hardship as many restaurants were unable to trade yet are expected to pay 50 percent rent dating back to April. The letter situates these local problems within a broader London crisis of empty office areas, curtailed tourism and entertainment, transport shortcomings and policy choices that together threaten viability and staffing across the sector." - Adam Coghlan
