Legendary London restaurant Simpson's In The Strand has confirmed its reopening date
We've known that Jeremy King – the hospitality brains behind the likes of Brasserie Zédel, The Wolseley and recent Bayswater opening The Park – has been planning to reopen the legendary Simpson's in the Strand for a while. And finally we have an opening date. 'At the end of 2025, just a few years short of its 200th anniversary, Jeremy King will relaunch this legendary restaurant,' says an official statement. It was initially thought that Simpson's would be re-opening in May of this year. Serving up traditional British fare since 1828, and beloved by literary luminaries Charles Dickens and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Simpson's was one of the first UK restaurants to earn a Michelin star back in 1974. However, this London dining institution has been shut since 2020 and in 2023 it auctioned off a bunch of fixtures and fittings, including carving trolleys, tables, booths and three pianos. In other words: expect a whole new look inside. More information about the revamped resto has also been newly released. Simpson's will have two dining rooms - the Grand Divan and the Green Room (which is apparently a 'working title') – as well as two bars – Simpson's Bar and Nellie's. There will also be private ballroom for 100 covers, called the Assembly Room. 'Food throughout will be British at its core, with a meal in the Grand Divan being a rather traditional affair and the Green Room offering a more flexible service at a lower price point.' Simpson's, 100 Strand, WC2R 0EW.

Trending celebrity couple tipped for double Bond duty
Let's face it: Dua Lipa and fiancé Callum Turner are one of the hottest couples right now, and the duo have been tipped for double duty for the next James Bond movie British actor Turner, who's best known for his roles in the Fantastic Beasts franchise as well as the indie film Green Room alongside Sir Patrick Stewart, has seen his odds to be the next 007 shoot up in recent weeks, with Ladbrokes sharing their top five contenders. Having been the 10th favourite to snag the role (at 14/1), the 35-year-old is now sitting as the joint second favourite at 5/1 (alongside Theo James), just behind Aaron Taylor Johnson at 7/4. Jack Lowden, Tom Holland and Harris Dickinson also range from 6/1-8/1 in the bookies. Dua Lipa and Callum Turner Pic: Samir Hussein/WireImage Speaking on the shift in popularity, Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes said: 'A significant number of our punters feel that Callum Turner would make a good Bond, and this latest odds cut suggests that some producers might share their thoughts.' Turner's partner Dua is also looking likely to be contributing to the franchise in her own way, with the 29-year-old singer being tipped to perform the title track for the next instalment. Lipa would follow in the footsteps of Adele, Billie Eilish and Sam Smith, all of whom won Oscars for their Bond tunes.

'Dua Lipa has already proven her credentials on the big screen and in the studio, so it's no surprise to see her odds shorten to 15/8 to follow the likes of Adele and Billie Eilish by singing the next iconic Bond theme. 'As a duo, they're now just 12/1 to both feature in the film in these respective roles, which would mark a bold and modern new direction for the franchise.'
