Camden Council is under fire from the borough's celebrities, who are objecting to the potential sound of untalented people drinking late into the night, once licensing hours are extended. Amongst the protesters... pianist Alfred Brendel, who lives in Well Walk, Hampstead, is concerned about the Wells Tavern; Amanda Platell is battling with the Roebuck, in Hampstead's Pond Street; Jon Snow (whom the Rat and Mouse supports as a matter of principle on any issue whatsoever) takes a dim view of late-night drinking at the Torriano in Kentish Town; and Joan Bakewell is worried about lude, drunken shenanigans concerning the Princess of Wales (the pub) in Primrose Hill.
