In keeping with its sister restaurants in the US, the site will also feature butchery quarters and a dry ageing room.

From the construction through to menu planning, we’ve been incredibly busy behind-the-scenes to ensure Smith & Wollensky is everything those familiar with the brand have come to love and those who’ve heard so much about it will expect. We’re confident that when we open this summer we’ll deliver London’s best steakhouse with classic American hospitality in truly spectacular surroundings.”
