City workers are protesting the closure of one of London’s oldest restaurants, following a dispute with a property company owned by the family of energy drinks billionaire Rodney Sacks.
Simpson’s is popular in the Square Mile for its meat and cheese-based menu, and customers include the pro-Brexit politician Nigel Farage. It said Tuesday that it’s been forced to shut “through the cynical actions of our landlord and their agents.”
