Veeraswamy, Britain's oldest Indian restaurant, is fighting the Crown Estate in court to stay on Regent Street after a century there. The Estate wants high-end offices in a £1bn regeneration scheme and opposes a new lease. Owners say it does not want an Indian restaurant amid smart offices and warn moving could cost £5m. The Estate says the plan is lawful. Hearings continue next week.
