Article 17 of the UK / German double taxation agreement, advises German Government bases pensions are normally taxable only in Germany, except where you are a national and resident of the UK, in receipt of a government pension, then in those cases, the pension is taxable in the UK. If article 17 does not cover your pension, you may consider article 21 other income.

Article 18 of the UK / France double taxation agreement, advises that French government pensions are normally only taxable in France. For a French government pension to be taxable in the UK, you will need to be a national and resident of the uk, but also, not a national of France.
