Garrick Street was developed in the 1860's as a throughfare to avoid the bustle of the Covent Garden Market but it soon became a desirable street for lodgings and businesses. Le Garrick Restaurant was originally a family home with servants quarters in the basement which they shared with fresh fire coals. The alcoves in the restaurant which can still be seen today are the original pavement coal holes.
As the market grew the house was converted to a warehouse and used to store fruit from all over the world. When in 1974 the fruit and vegetable market was moved to Nine Elms, the ground floor of the Le Garrick building became a working mans cafe. After a few years it was bought by the famous theatre producer Mark Furness who produced many West End shows including 'Seven Brides for Seven Sisters"..."The Women in Black "...."Allo Allo"
Since then Le Garrick has remained a popular Bar/Restaurant and has welcomed many West end stars over the years.
