Locals accuse Kirstie Allsopp's husband of making 'pound-shop prison'

Families living near Kirstie Allsopp's husband's pub have compared his renovation to 'Poundland Prison Chic' due to the railings outside the property.

Wentworth Andersen, Ben Andersen's company, is transforming the former Ariadne's Nectar Bar in north Kensington, London.

One resident said: 'Conservation area? Not any more. This is Gritty-Gate meets Poundland Prison Chic.
