Summary
Iconic London bakery Coughlans, owned by comedian Romesh Ranganathan since 2024, has shut down after 89 years — citing soaring business rates, fuel costs, and punishing heatwaves that crushed foot traffic.

The closure, entered into voluntary liquidation, aims to protect staff and suppliers — a sad end for a beloved local institution.
