Mr Fogg's Tavern

The West End


An unexpected oasis for the weary Covent Garden visitor, Mr Fogg's is a themed throwback to the drinking dens of yore. Taking its name and inspiration from the protagonist of Jules Verne's novel Around the World in Eighty Days, this pub is filled with Union Flag bunting, costumed staff and kitschy knick-knacks of a well-travelled Victorian. Gin lovers are in for a treat.
