Simpson’s In The Strand:

Housed within the impressive Grade II listed building at 100 Strand, London, Simpson’s first opened in 1828 as a coffee house and chess club. Long celebrated for its ritual of wheeling joints of meat to diners and carving them beautifully tableside, it is now the last of the ‘Grande Dame’ restaurants to retain its original décor and features.

Appropriately, Jeremy King is evoking and emulating the spirit and style of this magniﬁcent institution to restore it to its former glory and bring it fully into the 21st century, while preserving its unique character and cherishing its history.

Spanning over 21,000 square feet, Simpson’s offers two restaurants, two bars, and a ballroom for private events.
