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. Ranganathan called it heartbreaking, while management blamed government hikes and extreme weather. The closure, entered into voluntary liquidation, aims to protect staff and suppliers — a sad end for a beloved local institution.
