'We have survived Fires, World Wars, an industrial revolution, a plague (or pandemic as you may call it) and a mini budget for 265 years.'
The 265-year-old Simpson’s Tavern in the City is under threat of closure, as a result of its landlord demanding rent payments built up during COVID-19 lockdown.The owners of a chophouse which opened in the heart of the City of London in 1757 say it is being forced to close because of the actions of a “cynical” and “callous” landlord.
, Benjamin Duggan, Simpson’s manager, said the restaurant business was “solvent” and had seen higher revenues in October 2022 than it did in October 2019, but that last week it received a “winding-up petition by the landlord for rent arrears.” “Their actions are displacing a professional workforce who have been dedicated to the values and traditions of a historic icon [...] removed without care or forethought,” the Instagram post goes on. “We have survived Fires, World Wars, an industrial revolution, a plague and a mini budget for 265 years.”
