I recognise many of the names on their crowdfunding page but many City boys seem unwilling to chip in for more than two to four beers. ??‍♂️

What is required is a planning authority that’s got the balls to deny any change of use for the building. The precedents aren’t good.

I have been going to Simpsons on an irregular basis since the early eighties when I’m in London. You don’t need to be a city gent to be made welcome. I was last there before covid struck and was thinking of stopping in when I’m next in London, during December. This is very sad.

Does he have to force a centuries-old tradition down the drain? I wish everyone a happy ending.

Love & Peace

It cannot be allowed to go under due to yet another wretched developer (latter didn’t deserve starting with a Capital letter). Thank you for sharing the wonderful photos too.

Seems the landlord is a company called Tavor Holdings, offshored in Bermuda. I don’t like to think it’s going to be sold and redeveloped into luxury flats or something, the mere thought is horrific.
