London's Simpson's: A 'Hogwarts' for Roast Beef

culture
A London restaurant is being called a perfect example of cozy British charm. Simpson’s-in-the-Strand, near Covent Garden, offers what one reviewer calls "wildly unfettered quaintness." The main Grand Divan dining room features traditional service, including a beef rib trolley. Regular visitors describe the atmosphere as historic, comparing it to "Hogwarts" or "Samuel Pepys’ London." The large venue also includes an old-fashioned cocktail bar and a separate restaurant, Romano's, which serves European food. Simpson's is positioned as a convenient and classic dining spot in the heart of the city.
