Journalist. Born 11 Hampstead Square. His chaotic life, spent mainly in the bar of the Coach and Horses, Greek Street, led to the play 'Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell' by Keith Waterhouse, the title being a reference to the notice that often appeared in place of his weekly column in The Spectator. Died at his home, 45 Kemp House, Berwick Street.
