Legendary bohemian pub where De Gaulle drafted speeches; half pints only, no phones, literary ghosts.
Insider Intel
Order This
Half pint of whatever's good. That's all they serve. Wine or Ricard if you're feeling French.
Best Time
Afternoon for the old Soho literary atmosphere. Evening gets packed and loud.
Know Before You Go
Half pints only - house rule since forever. No phones at the bar. De Gaulle wrote Free French speeches here. Dylan Thomas and Francis Bacon were regulars. Real Soho history.
