Mr Fogg's London

Best New Bar 2014 - DesignMyNight Awards

This Mayfair house imagines the Victorian abode of Phileas J. Fogg Esq, housing all the weird and wonderful artifacts of the period that he collected from his around the world trip. Mr Fogg's faithful butler, Jean Passepartout, shall be on hand to keep take coats, keep all house guests entertained and to serve the adventurer's favourite drinks from Suez to Yokohama. In the spirit of this eccentric traveller; there will be new rarities constantly sourced to get guests to set out on their own taste adventures. With a portrait of Queen Victoria over looking the evenings' goings on it is fitting that twists on the Victorian cocktail favourites of Absinthe Aperitifs, Stirrup Cups and Pouche Cafés and sharing drinks from the pages of Jules Verne’s novel, served in red indian’s heads, steam trains and antique punch bowls.

With walls covered in stuffed tigers and crocodiles; annotated maps and pictures litter surfaces from his various adventures and countless clocks lining the walls to represent Mr Foggs love of punctuality, those brave enough to join him on an adventure will have to ensure that they are never late. Another highlight of the bar is the piano that weary travellers can gather around to enjoy a sing-a-long, or for the colder nights sit infront of the hearth and listen to the stories of far-away places as experienced by Fogg himself.

So, head off the noisier streets of Mayfair, down the smaller side alleys off of Berkley Square and ring his door bell to join the other fun-loving, thrill-seeking Londoners in what is likely to set the London bar scene alight. After all; who wouldn't want to travel around the world, without ever leaving Mayfair?

Mr Fogg is meticulous in his time-keeping and will let patrons enter his abode at 5.01pm, then set travellers back on the road home after closing his doors at precisely 1.01am.
