MR FOGG’S RESIDENCET: 020 7036 0608 | 15 Bruton Lane, London, W1J 6JD
At first glance, the leather-bedecked and curios-bestrewn environs of Mr Fogg’s Residence looks
like a private member’s club – as befitting its lofty Mayfair location – with just a hint of saloon-
cum-speakeasy style. But this eccentric bar is open to all, offering expertly mixed cocktails and a
calendar of events from magic shows to “tipsy” teas.
The hotel is then only 10 minutes’ walk from Mr Fogg’s.
