Disadvantages: Very busy

...Do you like a French atmosphere ? Want to find a Soho pub with strong connections with France ? Do you like French wine ? Do you like the smell of Gauloises cigarettes ? If the answer is yes,you could head for the French House. The bar of the French House is rather tiny,, with 25 people in it it really seems to be crowded.

He went over to the machine and bought a ticket and handed to me and charged me £20 for 1 week pass. Guess what happen. After using the pass for 2 days, I found out that the pass is only valid for children and I will be fine if I am caught. Well, appearance can be deceiving.... Read review
