NEW YORK: British Prime Minister Tony Blair was reportedly denied entry into one of London's best restaurants because of his support to the Iraq war.

According to the New York Post , Rose Gray, the co-owner of the River Cafi, reportedly personally declined a table request for Blair. Gray, however, has denied the reports.

"We're pretty anti-war here, but we don't have much of a huge alternative to Tony Blair in this country. If he did try and book a table, we'd probably say yes," he was quoted as saying. "Usually the PM needs more that one table and sometimes you can't fit everyone in," she added.
