The auction of silver trolleys from Simpson’s in the Strand has generated excitement, with starting prices ranging from £1,500 to £6,500, depending on the design. The Savoy, the parent company of Simpson’s, is offering buyers the chance to own a piece of this legendary establishment as it begins a new chapter.
Both Simpson’s in the Strand and The Savoy belong to the Fairmont hotel group. This auction follows years of closure at Simpson’s, while The Savoy has recently reopened after the relaxation of lockdown rules. The reopening plans for Simpson’s in the Strand in 2024 are expected to be announced soon.
Despite enduring wars and rationing, Simpson’s in the Strand has stood the test of time. It even had to introduce a “meat-free” day during World War I due to meat rationing, and potatoes were only available one day a week. In 2017, the restaurant underwent a refurbishment to enhance the guest experience while preserving its historic charm. Notable figures like Winston Churchill, King Charles, and Peter O’Toole have dined at Simpson’s, and the refurbishment retained the iconic dining table near the fireplace.
