Fortnum & Mason - Jermyn StreetJerymn Street

A GENTLEMANLY STROLL ON JERMYN STREET - NYTimes.com

Also within walking distance, on the other side of Piccadilly, Jermyn Street's better-known cousins, Savile Row and Carnaby Street, succeed too often in being too stuffy on the one hand and too scruffy on the other.

In the 1960's and 1970's when men's fashions became garish in Savile Row's eyes, Jermyn Street refused to compromise on quality but remained open-minded about new styles.

It stands next door to the first of Jermyn Street's men's fashion stores encountered on this stroll.

Opposite Snooker's, on the street's south side, is the Victorian Rowley's restaurant (telephone 930-2707), notable for its charcoal-grilled steaks (basic price: $13 for lunch), bentwood furniture and walls tiled like a 19th-century Turkish bath.

By crossing over to the north side the stroller comes to the largest men's wear site on the street, the Jermyn Street frontage of Simpson's of Piccadilly, a department store that takes up the width of the block (from Piccadilly) and diversifies into every type of accessory, including women's fashions.

Fortnum raised some cash by selling the queens used candles to the ladies of the palace and convinced his Landlord Hugh Mason to help start a new business.

Mason also established Masons Stables on Duke Street.William Fortnum’s grandson, Charles, went into the service of Queen Anne in 1761.

Once again the connection with the Palace brought business to Fortnum and Mason which continued to grow and increase profits.

The Napoleonic wars saw many servicemen order Fortnum and Mason supplies, proving another massive boost to business.

The rich Royal tradition allowed Fortnum and Mason to display the Royal seal of approval on many of its products.In 1964 the Fortnum and Mason store built a huge clock- complete with chimes and replicas of the original William Fortnum and Hugh Masons bowing to each other.

A GENTLEMANLY STROLL ON JERMYN STREET - The New York ...

It stands next door to the first of Jermyn Street's men's fashion stores encountered on this stroll.

By crossing over to the north side the stroller comes to the largest men's wear site on the street, the Jermyn Street frontage of Simpson's of Piccadilly, a department store that takes up the width of the block (from Piccadilly) and diversifies into every type of accessory, including women's fashions.

Interesting at Simpson's is the range of jackets, trousers, shirts, belts, scarves and other items in the store's house check and house tartan.

Burberry's has a shop within a shop on the Jermyn Street frontage of Simpson's.

Had you turned left at Duke of York Street, you might have stopped for a drink (subject to Britain's confusing opening hours) at the Red Lion public house, where the engraved glass paneling in the back bar is a delight, or next door at the Gallery of London (No. 1), specialists in buttons, cuff links and embroidered crests for blazers.

Grace Dent reviews Anglo: Noma, if it was born and raised in ...

Probably while making short, greedy work of a plate of cloud-like, float-away sourdough with rich, sweet ale-like fermented yeast butter.

Since then photos of Anglo’s pretty tasting menu have bled satisfyingly through my Instagram as cheffy and foodie sorts swung by to sample the outpourings of Mark Jarvis (Zuma, Le Manoir, Richmond’s Bingham) and Jack Cashmore (Belgium’s In De Wulf).

Yes, the menu, which changes daily, may be filled with simply named plates such as halibut with mussels, and cheese and onion on malt loaf, but probably don’t take your uptight uncle who just wants his steak with something starchy.

After nearly 300 Grace & Flavour columns I’m still searching for a word to explain evenings like Anglo, as it’s not strictly dinner, more a captivating noodle around the chef’s mind.

Because, yes, there was a fine smattering of Berry Bros offerings, featuring a gorgeous Riesling, but as the meal closed, a slab of melted cheddar on malt loaf was matched with a medium-dry Urban Orchard Cider.

London's finest ice-cream parlours | London Evening Standard

ES Food Newsletter We're hardly basking in full sunshine this week, but us Londoners don't let a little thing like the weather stop us from indulging in summer's sweetest snack: ice cream.

The capital has more than its fair share of fabulous ice cream parlours, from traditional Italian gelaterias to posh purveyors of knickerbocker glories.

We recommend the all-new knickerbocker glory (£9), a devastating delight of vanilla bean, strawberry shortbread and strawberry and balsamic vinegar ice cream topped with whipped cream, pineapple chunks and raspberry coulis.

Young has adopted the French tradition of serving ice cream ready-scooped into waxed paper cups from Fauchon, the legendary Parisian food emporium.

He even does occasional specials featuring sugar-free ice cream in vanilla or chocolate flavours.
