"The famous Simpson's Tavern - an 18th century London institution - is set to re-open next year. After over 250 years in business, the Grade II-listed restaurant closed in 2022 after a rent dispute . However, the team behind nearby restaurant and wine bar Cloth have taken over and will be relaunching the venue under the new name of Cloth Cornhill."
"London's oldest chophouse, Simpson's Tavern was known for its atmospheric wood-panelled dining room and old-timey menu, serving up old-school English grub like steak-and-kidney pudding, pork chops and something called 'stewed cheese'. It also has possibly London's quaintest address: 38½ Cornhill. Charles Dickens and Samuel Pepys were regular visitors to the tavern, and it's so historical that women were only admitted into the restaurant from 1916."
An 18th-century, Grade II-listed chophouse that opened in 1757 closed in 2022 after a rent dispute following over 250 years of operation. The team behind nearby Cloth restaurant and wine bar has taken over the Ball Court venue off Cornhill and will relaunch it as Cloth Cornhill while promising to retain Simpson's spirit and wine-fuelled lunches and dinners. The new menu will include chops, steaks and nods to Simpson's traditional dishes. The venue was known for its wood-panelled dining room, old-school English fare and historic clientele including Charles Dickens and Samuel Pepys.
