The oldest working fish smokehouse in London is facing closure after the owners were told they can only use smoke-free wood because of a single complaint from a neighbor.
Walter Purkis & Sons has been serving customers with smoked fish at the back of its Crouch End shop for 130 years, prepared in a Victorian smokehouse.
But Haringey Council say the practice must stop until issues with the smoke are resolved, after a neighbor in a modern apartment block lodged a complaint.
