Hard Rock Cafe LONDON

For those that may not know... Hard Rock Cafe London is the first Hard Rock Cafe ever.  It is the one that started it all... all thanks to Eric Clapton and whats his name from the Rolling Stones arguing over a bar stool... As I always say... sometimes that's just how things happen...

Standing on Old Park Lane since June 14th 1971, this is the one that started it all. The brainchild of Isaac Tigrett and Peter Morton, the cafe attracted customers from day one with first-rate, but moderately priced, casual American fare (available no-where else in London or the UK at the time), warm service and ubiquitous Rock 'n' Roll music and sensibility - Hard Rock Cafe London became an instant classic.

Still housing the first ever piece of memorabilia donated to the Hard Rock Cafe, Eric Clapton's Lead II Fender, originally donated to reserve a space at the busy bar, the London Cafe is as charming and authentic now as it was 38 years ago. You'll find many of the original serving staff still work the floor here today too! The Cafe is also as famous as ever around town for attracting the best rock stars down for a burger and the occasional "jamming session".


Cheers,
