Historic London pub with stylish rooms

With its magnificent tiled façade, intimate snugs and six individually styled bedrooms above, The Fox & Anchor is the sort of London pub that rewards a closer look. Standing opposite Smithfield Market in Clerkenwell, this Grade II-listed pub is an exceptional example of Art Nouveau-influenced pub architecture, complete with elaborate Doulton ceramic work. Inside, all that history comes with plenty of personality. Traditional features and cosy booths meet hearty British food, well-kept ales, steaks, cocktails and famously generous breakfasts. Upstairs, the mood becomes distinctly boutique, with damask wallpapers, rich velvets, modern prints, and comfortable Hypnos beds. Farringdon station is around a five-minute walk away, Barbican station is even closer, and St Paul’s Cathedral, the Barbican Centre and the City of London can all be explored on foot.
