7th January 2008

THE CUT COMES TO LIVERPOOL STREET

Langy and Simon Prideaux – proprietors of the ‘Cod’ (the Admiral Codrington SW3) and Vingt Quatre SW3 – are to open a new venture in mid-2008, in Devonshire Square.

Drawing its inspiration from “the New York scene” (whatever that means), it’s to be a multi-faceted venture with as much space outdoors as in.

With the success of neighbouring Kenza EC2, it seems that the City – traditionally a daytime-only dining destination – is beginning to develop a true lunch-and-dinner restaurant scene all of its own.

In fact, it’s not too fanciful to see the section of Bishopsgate running from Liverpool Street to Hoxton beginning to emerge as a true dining axis, rather in the same way as the Fulham Road, say, has long been seen: the Prideaux’s Chelsea experience may turn out to be rather more relevant than it initially appears.

But why have they confusingly named the place after a well-known street on the other side of the river? Perhaps – like all good Chelsea folk – they just don’t acknowledge that the other side of the river actually exists?
