Website: Mr Fogg’s Apothecary

Just across from Claridge’s hotel, you can find this delightfully quirky cocktail bar. Following the theme of Phileas Fogg’s adventures around the world, the drinks on display at Mr Fogg’s apothecary are based on legendary remedies that may or may not have some health benefits. A heavy disclaimer should be placed on the fact that alcoholic cocktails probably won’t fall under the category of health foods anytime soon!

This beautifully decorated establishment stays true to the era in which the novel was based. It is low-lit with comfortable seating and a beautiful bar where friendly mixologists will prepare your order. It makes for a wonderful break from the norm and is a fabulous place to go for a few cocktails with friends.
