Byron

the first byron restaurant opened on kensington high street in 2007, founded by tom byng. during a four-year stint in america, tom ate enough hamburgers to sink the titanic. his favourite diner was the silver top in downtown providence, rhode island. the hamburgers were simple, tasty things – a bit messy, but made with good quality meat and only the classic adornments: some lettuce, tomato, red onion, and maybe a slice of cheese or bacon. back in london, tom realised that there weren’t any restaurants offering hamburgers like those at the silver top. and so the idea for byron was born: to do a simple thing well, and to do it properly. we have a few restaurants now but our vision remains the same: to keep serving proper hamburgers the way they should be.
