Mr Fogg
This summer a new bar will bring a touch
of plant life to Fitzrovia. Mr Fogg’s House
of Botanicals will take guests on a sensory
journey to an enchanted land of plants, herbs
and spices that intrepid traveller, Phileas
Fogg has brought back from his Around the
World in 80 Days voyage. Mr Fogg’s House of
Botanicals is the latest project from Charlie
Gilkes and Duncan Stirling’s Inception Group,
and will showcase the fruits of Mr Fogg’s
travels across two floors of exotic flora and
fauna.
Located on the corner of Newman Street
and Goodge Street, Mr Fogg’s House of
Botanicals will showcase a magnificent display
of the explorer’s botanical acquisitions and
eccentric souvenirs of his global adventures. A
perfect complement to the exquisite Mayfair
Mr Fogg’ Residence, the space will be flooded
with natural light with large sash windows and
ceilings high enough for the tallest of trees,
creating a sense of bright airiness throughout.
From the moment they arrive, guests will
leave the bustling streets behind them and
enter a verdant Victorian paradise. The
downstairs area will feature an intimate
seating area shrouded in plants, plenty
of hanging ivy and a beautifully crafted
handmade oak wooden bar surrounded by
floriferous foliage. Colourful greenery from
the furthest reaches of the globe and antique
horticultural prints will proudly adorn the
richly lacquered wood panelling.
