History
Established in 1990 Originally selling fruit and vegetables in a London street market in Soho for fifteen years the owner, Barry Tate, finally got tired of the wind,rain,and cold (typical English summer) and decided to turn a derelict railway station in London into a French Creperie and wine bar. After four years he still could not pronounce the items and wines on his own menu, so he sold the business and came to Dallas (you lucky people). Once in Dallas, he bought into a sign business, but being sixty feet in the air, inside a McDonald's sign scared the McCrap out of him. So he returned to the restaurant business, again opening a French Creperie (will he ever learn?) on Lower Greenville Ave. Six months later and about ten customers later he closed the business and reopened as the London Tavern (1990) eventually spawning the Londoner in Addison (1995), McKinney (2002), Uptown Dallas (2008-2013), Frisco (2010), Allen(2010) Greenville Ave Dallas (2012) and Colleyville (2013).
