- In 1757 Thomas Simpson opened Simpson's Tavern making it the City of London's oldest chophouse. Simpson's Tavern is one of London's oldest restaurants and pubs renowned for its classic British food. It might be Friday but I get the best English Sunday Roast dinner.

Great video-- it reminded me of the film The Guns of Navarone.
David Niven: "When this is over we'll meet at Simpson's for lunch. Roast Beef, Yorkshire Pudding..."
Anthony Quayle: "Steak and Kidney pie"
David Niven: "It doesn't matter, you'll be paying for it"
The thing I like about London these days is how squeaky clean the streets are like Disneyland.That has not always been the case.The food looks excellent as usual.(And the beer).
Been 6 time to London...visiting again soon. Still finding fantastic discoveries in the old city; and thanks to your videos will be better prepared to make new discoveries! Enjoy your dining tips! Cheers!
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video
As always, your videos are well thought out, researched and beautifully presented. Cheers!!!
Thanks! Glad you liked the video
You're having a laugh, mate
How can anyone believe that there is a more beautiful city on this earth?!!! Staggeringly beautiful! It caresses the eye at every turn, as this video proves. And on top of that, the lunch looked delicious!
Thanks! Glad you liked the video
Daniel Hammond London is pretty and all, but it pales in comparison to St Petersburg. Also outside of the central areas, London is probably one of the most visibly depressing cities I've ever seen.
jonybeam been to all three, couldn't agree more about Paris! It's ok when the sun is shining, but once it's gone - gloomy as hell. St Petersburg i love dearly) historical center is very beautiful indeed, no wonder as it has been built to show it's best side) Yet imo no city beats London! It is enchanting and fascinating in every season and weather. Hope to go there again soon)
+jonybeam. I was in Paris last week. I'm a very sad UK man. Where the fuc* has Paris gone?
Ever been to York ?
We love English pub food! Next trip Simpson’s is one we will try to visit. Love your Liberty of London video blog. One place we visit every trip.
Glad to hear you can get Sunday roast other than on Sunday. Our upcoming trip will be Monday to Saturday and we would hate to miss this British classic!
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video
Brilliant....so many memories.....
I love cauliflower cheese 😋. I just subbed because I really enjoy your videos. You really show the true beauty of London. Looking forward to your future videos. Thanks Robert.
Thanks! Glad you liked the video
Haha! Thanks to you I have a lot of saved places in London on my Google map. 😀 Looking forward to my next trip.
Love your videos Robert. I miss London, lived there about 10 years ago. Can't wait to return some day
Thanks for commenting! Glad you enjoyed the video
Mate, I've been looking for your channel for ages. I been subscribed for a while but cos my sub box has 1000s of people, I never found it. Just in time for the summer! Can't wait to actually go to these places now.
Anywhere for decent sunday lunch really enjoy ur videos
I’ve been eating at Simpson’s since 1986, love the place, nothing’s changed in that time. The best is a steak, bubble and squeak, with a fried egg on top, bottle of port. Don’t bother to go back to the office.
That's the 'Happy Ever After' menu option. The Bubble and Quest comes with medieval armour and a damsel in distress to rescue. Bit of a lengthy lunch tbh, and you're given a tetanus shot as a starter, but you sure work off any calories.
I did enjoy your video.Would love to explore all of the pubs .
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
I’m looking to going to London in mid spring in 23, I could use an amazing tour guide. I just saw that it my be closing soon!!
That roast beef dinner looked delicious 😋
Good thing I'm watching this just before I cook my dinner as that is making me very hungry. I used to work in the city in Moorgate when I was a teenager (many moons ago) and we used to go to a pub down a side street for lunch, can't remember what is was called, it used to be buzzing at lunch time and the food was great.
brilliant vid. great bit of British history
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
Thank you for posting this cool video. I've been somewhat reluctant to go after my dream of moving to the U.K. .But positive feedback like your video is making the U.K. feel like a requirement. Thank you for that.
watching videos like this makes my wont to come back to london after nine years
Once again, a great video.
Thanks!
Are You Using GoPro?Fantastic Quality m8
Great job Robert! Thanks
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
Thanks for that. My next pilgrimage to “the big smoke” will include to visit to Simpsons 👍😁
this is brilliant
Huhu!!! Sedap betul ni thanks you
Great channel. You seem like a chill dude.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
NO HE IS NOT, HE IS EITHER A FAT CAT WHO CAN AFFORD UNLAWFULLY WELL OVERPRICED FOOD OR HAS NO CONCEPTION OF LEGAL CORRECT MAXIOMUM PRICES AND THINKS THESE PRICES ARE CHEAP WHEN THESE CAFES ARE RREALLY UNLAWFULLY WELL RIPPING OFFC USTOMERS BY UNLAWFULLY CHARGING WELL OVER THE LEGAL PRICES TO COVER THE LOW 5 TIMES BERNEFIT. PENSION AND WAGE RISES OF THE LAST 45 YEARS !!!!.
@@RobertsLondon NO MR ROBRRTS MOST OF THE MEAL OUTLETS YOU VISTI ARE UNLAWFULLLY RIPPPINH OFF CUSTOMERS BY CHARGING WELL OVER THE LEGAL PRICES TO CORRELATE WITH THE VERY LOW BENEFIT. PENSION AND WAGE RISES OF THE LAST 45 YEARS AND IF THEY DO NOT DROP THEIR PRICES ACCORDIBNGLY. THEY ALL SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN !!!!.A BREAKFAST AND MAIN MEAL FIRST COURSE ON AVERAGE IN CAFES IN THE MID 197X;S WAS 35 TO 60 PENCE, SO THEREFORE YOUR MAXIMUM LIKEWISE PRICES E LEGALLY SHOULD BE MSAXIMUM £1.75 TO £3 TO CORRELATR WITH INFLATION SINCE 1975 !!!.
@@peterbuckley265 LOL, LOL, who rattled your age old man. Hope you get your covid jab soon, "honest". Riposté Prices have NO intrinsic value, merely that the buyer is willing to pay. This place seems booming, berating your crass comments.
Your videos make me want to go to the UK
Mike Staple come then mate, I recommend.
Coming from a local. Lol
DO NOT GO WHERE HE SUGGESTS ATS, THERE ARE FAR CHEAPER CAFES, HE GOES TO RIPP OFF OUTLETS..
Use to enjoy a few pints of Bass in there,superb food as well.
I used to eat here in the 80's and 90's. On a Friday lunch time the queue would go for miles, it is a sign of the times that you could walk in and get a table. Staples are Scampi and Bacon to start, chump chop (lamb) bubble and squeak, grilled tomato washed down with a pint or two of Bass. Spotted Dick and custard for pudding then stewed cheese on toast with a glass of port. Didn't make it back to work in the afternoon. That was when the City was fun; there used to be a hierarchy as to who could eat in the ground floor Grill Room and the upstairs restaurant. You had to be a regular/old-timer to eat in the Grill Room . Amazingly I still weigh 11 1/2 stone!
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video
London is massive.
Great video!
It was named Simpsons of Corn Hill
some years ago.
I'll be moving to London next February and your videos have been very helpful .my new journey to London will be quite easier .
Cheers
Claudia

Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video
Great shots of the City, the food and pub shots looked great..
I remember eating there. Good food.
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video
Interesting. Normally, in the USA you could not use the same brand name for 2 completely different restaurants like "Simpson's" even if it is modified by "in the Strand" vs. "Tavern city of London", unless they were owned by the same corporation or part of a restaurant "chain". But then again, you are not in New York City , or Chicago, etc. are you?
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
Cool dude.
What were the prices sorry?
Is there a dress code for some of these places ?
Thank you :-0)
Wow !!!!! We hope to come in Sept/Oct. and this hidden gem, Simpsons, is sure on our visit. Great vid.
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video
It's now December 2023 and Simpson's is still closed.
robert, what camera do you use. Sony 4?
OK, so you showed the inside of their menu. All we got a chance to see were white pages flashing by.
you have lost a ton of weight since this.Keep up the good work.
Is your camera on a tripod?
Prices ?
I love London Pride Beer:)
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video
It's great stuff
I prefer Fuller's ESB myself but London Pride is still good.
I'M NEW HERE :0) I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BUDDY :0) I JUST SUB TO YOU AND I CLICK THE BELL :0)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video
The street looks a lot like dale street in liverpool
I just found out its basically closing down due to its landlord. Gutted.
I spotted a shop called PURE. Pure is/was dog shit. Collected by pure finders and used for tanning.
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video
That video was fascinating...
Thanks! Glad you liked the video
Always thought that Simpson’s would be a lot more pretentious now might even give it a go on my next trip... Could be I was thinking of Simpson’s in the Strand.....
Nel 77 ci ho mangiato,tutto buonissimo.
I couldn't understand a word you said while dinning.
"Beefeater" :)
Thanks! Glad you liked the video
So uhhh...down stairs is a wine bar ? :)
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video
Automated answering ?
Sunday lunch and you eat with your hands how common we eat with a fork
This place seems like snob central,the meat portions seem quite stingy .......wondering how much it cost.
Axe Hole not at all snobby, very down to earth bearing in mind the clientele, and didn’t you Notice is his plate was actually covered in beef?
Camera is waaaay too close fella
looks great, smell of beer n guys turn into little boys🤣🤣🤣🤣 btw great vids
What a shame the Great Fire 1666, so much history lost.
toby carvery is hard to beat
Thanks! Glad you liked the video
I think the british have beer with everything they probably drink beer with donuts
nice one X UK
Thanks! Glad you liked the video
Geez, you're forgetting that we're seeing this all for the first time. Slow the camera down a bit so we can see something. Your videos are so fast that they're meaningless to us that want to see the sights.
Sound is key to a successful you tube channel ... just sayin.
Brexit or no , London is the capital of the world , with New York. Frankurt , Paris? don't make me laugh.
You cant have traveled very much.

Like Wagamama... And you got lost

Sad to see London being filled with the same undistinguished glass and steel boxes that blight cities around the world.
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video
Make me homesick! In Victoria Canada.You must chew your food more.
Like your videos but more scenery than you mush please!
Thanks for watching! Glad you liked the video
Please, don't scowl like that. A smile. occasionally, too would be nice.
Damn, hold your camera still for a minute so we can see something. PEOPLE, I have to give this video a big thumbs down. There's lots of people out there who take the time on their videos to let you see what they're showing you. This video is a whirlwind and you really see nothing!
Glad I dunt live in London if that's wot you call a good roast beef dinner
NO LOTS OF CAFES ARE NOT GOOD BUT DISGUSTINGLY VERY BAD AS THEY ARE UNLAWFULLY WELL OVERCHARGING ABOVE THE LAWFULLY CORRECT PRICES TO COVER BENEFIT. PENSION AND WAGE RISES OF THE LAST 45 YEARS. IN THE MID 197X'S A BREAKFAST AND A MEAL FIRST COURSE IN A CAFE WAS ON AVERAGE 35 TO 60 PENCE MAXIMUM;, SO WITH BENEFIT, PENSION AND WAGE RISES ONLY RISING CIRCA 5 TIMES SINCE 1975 = THE LEGAL PRICES TO CORROLATE WITH THE INFLATION MUST BE ON AVERAGE £1.75 TO £3 MAXIMUM, OTHERWISE CAFES ARE BREAKING THE LAW BY OVERCHARGING AND NEED TO LOWER THEIR PRICES ACCORDIONGLY OR BE PRODSECUTERD AND CLOSED DOWN IMMEDIATELY !!!.
