The French House

About

The French House, a storied Soho pub, has been a favourite haunt for writers, artists, and film‑industry insiders since its 1891 opening. With a strict no‑music, no‑telephones rule, the venue offers a unique refuge for conversation over a glass of one of its thirty‑best champagnes or a selection of craft beers. Inside, its charming, dimly lit interior boasts a renovated bar, a cosy dining room, and an extensive wine list curated by the staff. While reservations for the upstairs restaurant are required (for lunch and dinner service) the bar remains open for walk‑ins during the day and into the night. The French House invites guests to experience a slice of London’s bohemian heritage while enjoying modern hospitality and an ever‑changing menu of seasonal dishes.
