Mr Fogg's Tavern

Victorian pub restaurants in London

“Mr Fogg’s Tavern” in London is a unique pub-restaurant known for its charming Victorian atmosphere and its connection to the fictional world of Jules Verne's “Around the World in Eighty Days.” Located in the heart of Covent Garden, it is part of the renowned Mr Fogg’s chain, which operates various themed bars throughout the city. The concept of the establishment is based on the story of the eccentric explorer Phileas Fogg, whose late aunt Gertrude bequeathed her house to her housekeeper Fanny McGee. She transformed it into a lively tavern that attracts theater lovers, art enthusiasts, and passersby alike. The interior is a true experience: the walls and ceilings are adorned with an eclectic collection of memorabilia—from Union Jacks to antique portraits and curious artifacts—creating the impression that you have been transported to another time. In the summer, a spacious outdoor terrace extends the area, inviting guests to linger.
