St. John (restaurant)

You are approaching the site of a true culinary revolution, tucked away in the industrial landscape of Smithfield. This building once served as a bacon smokehouse, a squat, and even the office for the political magazine Marxism Today before it was transformed in 1994. Its founders, Fergus Henderson and Trevor Gulliver, ignored the elaborate food trends of the nineties, opting instead for a stark, whitewashed aesthetic and a philosophy that would go on to influence restaurants across the globe.
