The Man Who Said No to the Krays — and Lost His Club Anyway | True Crime Documentary UK

Hew Cargill McCowan opened The Hideaway in Gerrard Street, Soho, in December 1964. Within weeks the Kray twins wanted a share.
He refused and went to the police.

The twins were arrested, remanded to Brixton, tried twice at the Old Bailey — and walked free. Then the club was sold over his head, renamed El Morocco, and turned into a Kray celebration venue.

This is the full story of the Hideaway case: the protection demand dressed as a business offer, the role of the Krays' financial brain Leslie Payne, the Nigerian investment scheme used as a legal smokescreen, the jury nobbling, the collapse of the prosecution under Judge Mr Justice Lyell, and what it all cost the one man who said no.
