Terrified diners at one of Notting Hill's most upmarket eateries were among those caught up in the riots terror after thugs burst into a restaurant and ripped wedding rings from the fingers of female customers.
The Ledbury in Notting Hill, a favourite dining spot of Kate Moss and Lily Allen, came under attack when 100 masked youths ransacked the restaurant before ripping jewellery and wallets from diners.
The terrifying ordeal was revealed as it emerged that Jamie Oliver's flagship Italian restaurant in Birmingham had also come under attack during disturbances in the Midlands.
News of the attack on the Ledbury first came to light at 11pm last night when Twitter user @harrywilkinson told how his parents' anniversary dinner had been interrupted by looters.
Yobs used furniture to smash their way into the Michelin-starred eaterie before causing 'chaos' as staff tried to usher customers upstairs to safety.

In ‘67 in Detroit we had something similar. National Guard called in, they ran over a few cars with tanks, shot a few people and it was over.
They aren’t allowed to have guns. Maybe if they all went out to dinner with baseball bats that would help.
They would probably make them check their bats at the door.
Yeah, I tend to think all the “social media” organizing must be hatched in the brains of someone inside the power structure. I hardly consider myself a tactical genius but if tonight I had to plan a flash mob, it certainly wouldn’t be down the block from my own house.
They should have been quicker to give up the rings. Piss poor victiming, I’m telling you.
In the UK, you are not allowed to defend yourself. If you are being robbed or mugged, youvare supposed to give the robber what he wants, then report it to the police. If you harm the robber or mugger, you are committing a crime and will be punished.........
And, to paraphrase Benjamin Franklin: “A second Amendment, sir, if you can keep it”.
I know and I agree. I’ve told Hub he HAS to start carrying again. He’s licensed and a retired law enforcement officer. I might start carrying sans a concealed weapons permit just in case. Hell, we ALL better arm ourselves and start shooting these vermin before they have a chance to do harm. Young savages with the support of the savages in WDC!!!
England will not stop this until they are prepared to shoot these rioters dead right there.
I hope it does. The street crawlers, anarchists, union thugs and the like will have their asses handed to them. Case in point: if anything like this story had happened where I live, the rioter that went for my wife would have two in the hat before he made it across the table... and his buddies would get the same.
Amateurs. Pros would have cut off the fingers to get the rings...
“Be prepared to discuss belt fed weapons”
Well, it would be hard to chase on foot after the looters with such a heavy weapon. I would prefer mobility over entrenchment. However, If you could mount a .50 cal on your pickup truck, that might be useful.
In the UK, it wouldnt.
He would be charged with murder..........
the flash mobs in the US and Anglosphere, and the mob riots in London right now, have NOTHING to do with Communism.
There are not Communists under every rock and texting behind every smartphone, calm your horses.
TO subscribe this to an -ism, would require those taking part to have coherent logical thought, this is Barbarism, which is condemned by Communists just as much as by our Corporatists and Fascists.
If the attacks would finally produce a proper response then they would have been worth it. However, Western Man is so spiritually sick that he is willing to die for the amusement of blacks. We are witnessing the start of the “Third World” conquest of the West. To put it in more concrete terms the barbarians have breached the walls and the sack is starting.
Even against a mob, a single pistol would be useful. I doubt any of the thugs are willing to be the first ones to die. They’re cowards. At the first shot they’d beat feet for the door. But sure... a beltfed weapon would be handy.
I say it is precisely what it is....a commie duck...
As for them hiding....in case you haven't been paying close attention....THEY ARE OUT IN THE OPEN. Just OPEN your eyes.
Imagine if the American was a ST6, feeling sad and angry about the loss of his comrades. It would make a fascinating Daily Mail headline.
“Man, believed to be an American, leaves a trail of dead rioters, then vanishes. Police still counting bodies, offering counseling to rioter survivors.”
