Trespassers Cleared from Above Fulham Broadway Marks & Spencer
Group had been occupying the offices for over two months
Broadway House, Fulham

Trespassers had to be evicted from an office building above the Marks and Spencer on Fulham Broadway after breaking in last December.
Paperwork attached to the front of Broadway House details how the building is currently subject to a closure order issued by the court.
The order means that no-one other than the landlord, emergency services or the council can enter for a three-month period.
A spokesperson for landlord Romulus Constructions confirmed to the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) that the order was sought after the trespassers broke into the building, and that the company is in the process of clearing up the damage caused.
The order, which is attached to the front of Broadway House, concerns 2 to 6 Fulham Broadway.
This includes office/educational space above a new Marks and Spencer supermarket, opened at the ground floor last year, as well as the building immediately to its left. The Marks and Spencer was not affected by the trespassers nor by the closure order.
The order is dated January 8, with an application by the Met Police having been heard at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
It details how the court was satisfied that either an individual or a group had engaged, or was likely to engage, in disorderly behaviour on the premises, that it had or was likely to result in “serious nuisance” to members of the public, and that disorder had or was likely to occur near to the premises.
A notice of discontinuance is also attached to the front of Broadway House, indicating Romulus halted a civil claim it had been pursuing.

A Met Police spokesperson said: “On Thursday, 8 January officers from Fulham Safer Neighbourhood Team successfully obtained a three-month closure order for 2-6 Fulham Broadway from Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
“This represents the latest development in ongoing efforts to tackle anti-social behaviour (ASB) in the area.
“The closure order will initially be in place for three months after the date of issue. No one without the relevant owner or police authority can enter the premises.”
In 2024 squatters moved into another empty building, former nightclub The Redback, with at least one unlicensed music event reportedly held before police intervened.
The old Fulham Town Hall is also located nearby, which other than live-in guardians is also currently vacant.
Plans to turn the Grade II*-listed building into a hotel and co-working space were approved in 2020, since when there has been little notable progress.
