Simpsons was (and possibly might still be) the oldest remaining Chop House in the City of London. Established in 1757 it continued to serve traditional plane, but well cooked fare from it’s premises at the strangely numbered thirty eight and a half Cornhill. It was forced to close if you believe all the hype surrounding it’s closure by an unscrupulous landlord who wants to redevelop the site. In an area much written about by the great novelist, it’s a rather Dickensian story.
A LONDON MISCELLANY

Very sad. Madison is losing all its funkiness and downtown institutions to 11 1/2 story upscale housing.
