I know we have been remiss in keeping everyone updated, & I promise we will shortly, but we did not want to miss today
St George's is and always will be our Day and we will always mark it, wherever we are
Not for the Nationalism, not for the tub thumping, but because this is us
2 years is also, just the start.
We remain determined to maintain Simpsons in trade and spirit. It means something more to us, as it does to so many of you, and to have it extinguished or replaced by some cod facsimile is unjust.
We will preserve our #londonheritage
2 years ago, on this date, like thieves in the night, Hartnell Taylor Crooks unlawfully closed Simpsons Tavern. Extinguishing a light that had burnt in the City of London for centuries
Last year was planned as the celebration of 300 years of Simpsons 3 centuries (1 of some)
We do not think of the days but of the times lost, the jokes not shared and memories unmade. Opportunity left blank like the empty pages of our , revolutions and World Wars have come and gone.
@PastGlasgow What is it with landlords and historic restaurants… The wonderful @SimpsonsTavern in London is also embroiled in a battle with its gawdawful money-grabbing landlord. 😢
@LiverpoolVista@forexflowlive Sadly no access
We have asked to remove personal effects and they have even ignored that
We would love to see any images or any related memories / memorabilia you have
Do let us know
Feel free to email if you get a moment

Bordering travesty
We have offered to buy the freehold, but #hartnelltaylorcook won't engage with a sale either
It sits at the heart of #cityoflondon closed while missed by so many & we stand ready to reopen and bring back it's #authentic#history
@russinsing@forexflowlive Hopefully @cityoflondon will trigger the #ACV purchase clause as soon as possible
There could be support through @Plunkett_UK to structure a bid
It would make sense for all parties - when all the alternatives make no sense at all, as you rightly point out
@IntoTheWhite@forexflowlive This may be the case
The early bad press stung a little and maybe now they are just set on being petty
The irony is, we are offering to buy it....they are saying we are standing in the way of a sale
It's ridiculous behaviour from a #commercialproperty agent
@PaulLan35790396@forexflowlive We cannot understand ourselves
We have offered security
We have offered to buy it
We have offered everything a reasonably minded agent could ask for, yet still the lights are off
Will provide Sausage
YOU ; Sympathetic to an old girl whose history is no secret - should like the smell of custard

(Whilst we fight for our return, it is heartening to see we are not forgotten.
Thank you @spectator
Here's to Lunches well remembered)

Good Humour a must
US ; Slightly dated, with a patina of Claret and good times. Looking to have the cobwebs blown off

@zxqwvoghzeayrxa@wrathofgnon@Look_UpLondon@HartnellTaylorC@HistoricEngland Would point out that the agents here unlawfully evicted us. That led to staff who worked for decades fired and a centuries old business closed - We are suing them for their unlawful act
Without tenants, this property is worthless & agents have just caused neglect & decline again
