Any restaurant that’s been going since 1828 deserves some respect – in a city when the restaurant landscape changes constantly and fashions come and go, that’s some impressive staying power. Simpson’s in the Strand is one of London’s most famous restaurants (it features in a couple of Sherlock Holmes books) and it’s all about classic, elegant style from the beautiful dining room to the roast carving trolleys that are available every day. It’s a place to go and celebrate and enjoy classic food in historical surroundings, a step back in time to London’s glamorous past.
