Sam or Samuel House, the 'political publican of Soho' kept 'The Intrepid Fox' tavern at the corner of Peter St and Wardour St, named after British Whig statesman Charles James Fox. In the Westminster election of 1784 he kept open house at his own cost. The house was also celebrated for its connections with the beautiful Duchess of Devonshire in her active canvassing in the cause of Fox. His story features here and here and here.
