Book Direct: Best Rates + Benefits

Stay in Farringdon

If you’re in London for a work-or-play stay, it’s way better to stay in a pub than a hotel (in our humble opinion)

Pubs come with history, heart and a vibe – ours also comes with six quirky bedrooms. Plus, some flipping awesome food & drinks on tap (and generously stuffed minibars for midnight snacking)

With rooms fully equipped with those fancy-pants Nespresso coffee machines (ideal for that morning Macchiato) roll-top bathtubs, super-duperly comfortable beds and even a desk for writing those postcards home.

A combo of damask wallpapers, heavy velvet, modern prints – it’s fair to say our rooms are pretty good-looking.

They’re comfy too. Perfectly sized rooms for two are perched on the first floor above the pub. All with space for a doggy bed (or two) too.

They all have an uber-comfy Hypnos bed, ensuite shower, honesty bar (jam-packed with the best treats-and-tipples) a Nespresso coffee machine, and dedicated working space.

There’s so much as we’re lucky enough to be based in the beating heart of London. Spend your day at Smithfield Market or enjoy a stroll to St. Paul’s Cathedral.
