sinister!


Itsu restaurant

Walked past Itsu restaurant on Piccadilly today - this was the sushi restaurant where Alexander Litvenenko possibly was poisoned with the polonium that killed him a couple of weeks later.

The restaurant is all boarded up and there's a sign on the hoardings. It's made to look like a James Bond title sequence camera shutter and reads "An international espionage incident has transformed this Itsu into a world-famous meeting place. Sad and shocked, we would like to thank you for the many emails of encouragement. Our customers and staff are magnificent. We will reopen and we will flourish. Meanwhile, enjoy Itsu's healt and happiness at Hanover Square and 313 Regent Street".
