The French House?

[AlexC]

...that's what the sign says above the place where Boho was. Anyone know anything about it?

[steveo]

Ooh, might we encounter the ghosts of Bacon and Barnard on the strip?

And half pint glasses?

Oh boo. I thought it might be a pub.

[Sue]

It's a very small space to be selling furniture in, isn't it?

[Jeremy]

There's a basement too though, innit.

Makes me suspect that everything will be pricy - like those shoe shops that only have four pairs of shoes on display, and you realise that those four pairs have to pay all the rent, rates, utilities and wages...

I was in there last night and I have the hangover to prove it.

i love the french house in soho, cidre breton is one of my top ciders albeit to the disgust of my west country mates. this new gaff on the lane is bound to be a bar though??

[Jah Lush]

Yes yes yes. The Breton cidre is blooming delicious if a trifle expensive.

Damn - read the thread thinking it might be linked to the SOHO one. Never mind. holloway Wrote:

Wishful thinking. It would be great if we had a bar like that around here. Looks like it's going be another shop though. Bah!

[haruki]

Not so sure it's a shop. When I peered in the other day it was laid out like a bar, a big shared table, trendy retro lighting etc.

[jimbo1964]

A French bar with delicious pression and French snacks could be great fun. Hope it's not an overpriced tat shop.

[BrandNewGuy]

Hmmm, in my experience, your average French bar has generic lager on tap, two customers drinking the local vegetable spirit drink and a bookies in the back room. Can be fun, though, until you realise it shuts at 8.30.

[jimbo1964]

If it had a bar like the bar in Gastro in Clapham and table football I'd be there like a shot.

[Jeremy]

As much as I'm fond of France... the beer is far far better East and North of the border.

xxxxxxx

Yeh but that's quite small too, n'est ce pas?

Perhaps it'll just be a shop for their "other objets", as described on the website Vik gave the link to.

Nitpick: Shouldn't it be "other objects" or "autre objets"?? Though not sure the "autre" is correct as is remembered from my French O level in, oh, 1965 :)) :)) :))

There's a French House next to Parsons Green tube station. It's a dull warehouse space full of expensive looking furniture.

I'd prefer the SE22 French House to sell beer and toasted ham & cheese sandwiches.

Audrey (who appears to be the new owner) has posted a link to the actual website above. It's a bar/cafe.

It looks intriguing. Something that could never be said about boho at least!

[redjam]

Oh wow, this looks brilliant! Love the concept. When's it opening, Audrey?

[monica]

Looking forward to seeing the outcome, and hopefully it will be a real French cafe, with traditional french food :)

[spanglysteve]

I wonder if it is linked to the French Cafe on Forest Hill Road, I love that place on a Sunday morning. Strange website address, I've never seen an address end simply .co
