Fox and Anchor

Average Cost: £250/$325 per night The Location: The elegant Fox & Anchor city pub lies in the heart of Farringdon, just a short walk to the Museum of London. The Vibe: The Victorian ambiance is all class: a historic tavern with bare-brick walls, stately leather chairs, and velvet furnishings. The Grub: Fine wines and traditional Sunday roast. Here you’ll find more roasts and charcuterie boards than burgers. Even if you’re not staying in town, you can drop here for an English breakfast that’s fuller than full: the City Boy Breakfast is all eggs, bacon, sausages, and more, coupled with a pint of stout. The Rooms: Though other pubs we mentioned may be better located, you can’t beat Fox & Anchor’s comfortable rooms and effortless sophistication.
