From the Haymarket to Mayfair

The oyster rooms grew into Scott's Oyster and Supper Rooms in Coventry Street, a palace of marble and mirrors that was one of the sights of the West End for seventy years.

The restaurant moved to Mayfair in 1967. In 1975 it was attacked twice by the IRA. It was rebuilt inside in 2006 by the group that owns The Ivy.
