A Hilton hotel café in London’s Aldgate has been accused of “ripping off” an East London anarchist group, which has resulted in a quiet rebranding of the venue.
The Freedom Press is a British anarchist organisation and bookshop that has spent “more than 130 years advocating the destruction of bourgeois capitalism”.
In a bemused yet outraged comment piece on its website it accused the Canopy by Hilton London City of “wholesale [ripping] off our name, photos and even the introduction to our history page on our own website” for the hotel’s Freedom Café.
