Until the end of the twentieth century the magnificent marble and glass edifice of Simpson Piccadilly housed a glamorous upmarket department store. Nowadays it is Waterstones’s London flagship, and where, on Monday 26 September, London’s Lost Department Stores was launched with a talk by the author, Tessa Boase. Also contributing his reminiscences was William Sieghart, at 16 a Saturday employee at Simpson, and now known for his work in the poetry world, not least as editor of the two Poetry Pharmacy volumes. Even the Waterstones staff in attendance learned plenty about the history of the fabulous Art Deco masterpiece they work in.
