There are restaurants you visit, and then there are institutions you enter. The Original Ivy, tucked discreetly on West Street in the West End, has long been the latter. Founded in 1917 and reopened in grand form in 1990, it remains one of London’s most storied dining rooms: evocative, discreet, and deeply woven into the city’s cultural memory.
