Neighbours of a longstanding West London pub have been left complaining about the noise as “posh drunks” descend on Notting Hill up to three times a week.
The Pelican, which dates as far back as 1870, is becoming increasingly popular after reaching TikTok fame.
Kensington & Chelsea Council last year introduced restrictions on the popular pub as anti-social behaviour in the area increased.
A refurbishment in 2021 also boosted numbers, with singer Dua Lipa and Princess Eugenie enjoying the establishment.

Measures include banning customers from drinking and eating outside after 9pm and restricting delivery times.
The Pelican also boosted the number of bouncers on its doors at weekends.
A street warden wearing a high visibility jacket even patrols the surrounding area between 10pm and 12.30am on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
The pub owners launched a legal challenge after facing a number of harsher restrictions.

The appeal will be heard during a three-day hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court in July.
Residents vented about the increasingly worse situation in the surrounding area.
One told The Sun: “You got all the poshos coming up from Fulham in their Ubers to drink there with their 'mates'."
Another said: “The popularity was so ridiculous at one point, people were queuing in the street to get into the pub to get a pint of beer.

"We had people that could not get into the pub because it was so busy, so they'd bring their own drinks and sit in front of it.
"The pub will say they have nothing to do with that, but they do!”
A third added: "It shocks me. Who wants a cold beer when it's p*****g down with rain? From Thursday evening onwards, it's just packed."
However, another resident was far more forgiving about the situation.
She said: "I just turn my TV up higher! It's people enjoying themselves."
