Angus Stafford Gordon from 1890!
Angus Stafford Gordon, a Free Vintner, started Gordon's wine bar in 1890. His son took over after him and his grandson after him (all 3 had the same name!). The grandson worked there for 3 years as a young man, but went off to become an actor - something he loved. In March 2009, Angus Stafford junior came to the bar and met me, Simon Gordon (Luis Gordon's son), and kindly brought along a batch of wonderful old photographs (CLICK TO VIEW PHOTOS).
Although we don't think we are related, there are family likenesses, so you never know! It was lovely to meet Staff (as he likes to be known) and I am delighted that he says he is very happy that Gordon's is keeping alive the traditions which his grandfather and father tried to instil - good service, discretion and a wonderful atmosphere! He will be returning!
