At certain hours of the weekday, just before 9 a.m, and for a while after 5 p.m., there aren’t many more crowded thoroughfares in London than the intersection of King William Street and London Bridge. The location is unofficially known as the Gateway to the City, London’s financial hub, and an excellent viewpoint for anyone who wants to see thousands of people in suits and zippered vests rush from trains to their desks—and then do the reverse hours later.

Overlooking the mass movement of humanity is the Wolseley City at 68 King William St., the sister restaurant to the Wolseley on Piccadilly and one of London’s biggest-deal restaurant openings of 2023.
