Fox & Anchor

Full of character and timeless charm our historic pub in the heart of Smithfield, just a short stroll from Barbican Centre and Farringdon station, The Fox & Anchor brings together classic London pub culture with a lively City atmosphere. It's cosy snug booths in the private Fox’s Den and a friendly welcome from the team made them a favourite amongst Smithfield locals, city workers and visitors alike for centuries. 

Although this pub serves all the pub classics it's famous for its 'City Boy Breakfast', in house dry-aged steaks and being known as one of London’s best Sunday roasts hot spots.

When the sun shines you can expect the pavement outside to be overflowing with locals enjoying after-work drinks, with pints and spritzes in hand (of course).
