Founded in London as a patisserie and confectioner in 1909 by two French émigrés, including the eponymous Monsieur Richoux, the original Edwardian shop was located on Baker Street. It later reopened as the Richoux Tea Room near Portman Square, before expanding in the 1970s into a well-loved group, frequented by Londoners, visitors, and many a well known face.
