A man with a facial disfigurement says he was asked to leave a restaurant in south London because staff said he was "scaring the customers".
Oliver Bromley has Neurofibromatosis Type 1, a genetic condition that causes non-cancerous tumours to grow on his nerves.
Speaking to the BBC, he said when he had gone to place an order at a restaurant in Camberwell, staff told him there had been complaints about him.
"It's a horrible thing to happen. I took it very personally on the day," he said.

I disagree with his choice to not name the place. Fot starters, I would like to know where not to go eat. Also, those people shaming him will basically get no consequence out of their hateful behaviour, so they will not learn. Loss of revenue would have been a great way to drive the point home.
it's so fucking strange how people insist on being polite towards people who have shown them the precise opposite of politeness, like what will it take to make you not be polite? gonna get stabbed in the gut and go "bro! not cool."?
Well the dude is English, he'd probably apologize to the knife for being in the way and the stabber for bleeding on their shoes.
He's English. You have described a Canadian.
It is possible that is a lawyers recomendation.
Due to him maybe planing to sue the shit out of the place. And naming them may harm his case.
