🇬🇧 London's Century-Old Establishments: A Favorite among the Upper-C

We've rounded up three of London's most historic restaurants, treasured by the British upper class, where the cuisine and service are in the classic aristocratic style, well worth experiencing once🍷🥩🍴 🍴 RULES Established in 1798, RULES was originally an oyster bar run by Thomas Rules🦪. It later incorporated many British elements. The restaurant exudes nobility and adheres to the full set of authentic British dining etiquette, making it a favorite among the old-school London gentlemen. It has been mentioned several times in the TV series Downton Abbey🍷. Historically, Charlie Chaplin and Charles Dickens were also patrons of this restaurant.🌟What's rare is the presence of "game" on the menu, where you can order rabbit legs and grouse available only during the hunting season! 📍 34-35 Maiden Ln, London WC2E 7LB 🦞 Wiltons Opened in 1742, Wiltons is a veteran seafood restaurant in London, known for its signature "lobster wearing a top hat". Oysters and lobster are must-tries🦪. The restaurant's entrance also states that they have supplied oysters to the royal family, indicating the quality of their seafood👔. Although there is no dress code, the patrons here are all well-dressed "old gentlemen" who are particular about their attire. 📍 55 Jermyn St, St. James's, London SW1Y 6LX 🍴 The Ivy The Ivy opened its doors in 1917 as an unlicensed Italian café☕️. It became an English restaurant in 1929 and has now become a must-visit restaurant for British celebrities. It has many branches across the UK and is the oldest chain of restaurants in the country.
