The French House
The legendary pub in which the French resistance convened during World War II and which was the favoured haunt of legendary Soho characters such as Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. It is a very small pub, so expect to be jammed in, particularly in winter. The pub only serves beer in half-pints. An absolute Soho institution. Think "Jeffrey Bernard is unwell".
