Have Wine at The French House, Soho, London, England
Compact bar with superb champagnes and wines by the glass and embrace the no-tech rule.
It sells more Ricard than anywhere else in Britain, and only serves beer in half-pints except on 1 April, when a recent custom has been that Suggs serves the first pint of the day.
After the fall of France during the Second World War, General Charles de Gaulle escaped to London where he formed the Free French Forces. His speech rallying the French people, "À tous les Français", is said to have been written in the pub.
The French House has always been popular with artists and writers. Brendan Behan wrote large portions ofThe Quare Fellowthere, and Dylan Thomas once left the manuscript ofUnder Milk Woodunder his chair. Other regulars over the years have included Francis Bacon, Tom Baker, Daniel Farson, Lucian Freud, Slim Gaillard, Augustus John, Malcolm Lowry, and John Mortimer.
