The lauded City of London restaurant Cloth is to open a second eating house in the old Simpson’s Tavern, which has been empty since 2022.
The original Cloth launched behind St Bartholomew the Great church in early 2024, with vino aficionados Joe Haynes and Ben Butterworth teaming up with the chef Tom Hurst (Lasdun, Levan, Brawn) to launch an Anglo-French, Monday-to-Friday restaurant aimed largely at City workers.
