Illegal hot dog seller served up huge fine amid crackdown in London tourist hotspot An illegal hot dog trader targeting tourists on Westminster Bridge has been slapped with a heavy fine as part of a crackdown.

Councillor Dr Mahamed Hashi, Lambeth’s cabinet member for safer communities, said: “I welcome the court’s tough action in these two cases as they send a strong message that we will not tolerate illegal traders in our borough.

Fikaj Xhyhen, 38, peddled food from a cart close to London’s South Bank.
