Fox & Anchor

About

The Fox & Anchor is a Grade II listed public house in Farringdon, London, built in 1898 with Art Nouvelle décor. Nestled beside Smithfield Market and within easy reach of the Barbican, it offers a historic ambience and a hearty selection of traditional British fare—from a bustling city‑boy breakfast and Sunday roast to premium steaks and a signature cocktail bar. With six boutique rooms above the pub, guests can enjoy a comfortable overnight stay while still being part of the lively pub scene. The venue’s large screens and raucous crowd make it a top destination for watching rugby and other sports, and its events calendar includes themed parties, Christmas celebrations and private functions. Staff are known for their welcoming, friendly service, and the pub’s cosy, well‑maintained interior provides a relaxed setting for locals and tourists alike.
