It was the unmistakable sound of a Greggs pasty hitting an armoured car. Sadly, most shops, bars and music venues don’t have Greggs’ financial resources, clout or media contacts — so can’t do anything about it when local councils ban them from opening late. Between 2007 and 2017 alone, London lost a third of its live music venues — many as a result of clampdowns by officious, wrongheaded local councils.
