A venue of private members club Soho House is being investigated by the local council after a former member of staff raised concerns about rats and out-of-date food allegedly being served.
The former staff member told BBC News he was pressured replace labels on prepared food if it was not sold at the end of the day and said he regularly saw rats at the venue.
