'London's roughest McDonald's' now plays classical music to help fight crime

A McDonald's restaurant plagued by anti-social behaviour is fighting back against thugs - by replacing the free WiFi with classical music.

The branch in Shepherd's Bush, west London, suffered 71 reported crimes in 2017 and was so dangerous it had to be patrolled by police officers.

So franchisee Atul Pathak started playing classical music to create a "calmer tone" and discourage youths from loitering inside.
