Tucked discreetly in a lane off Berkeley Square, Mr Fogg’s Residence transports you into the wood-panelled drawing room of Jules Verne’s iconic adventurer, Phileas J. Fogg. Curated by the Inception Group, the venue is crammed with curios and artefacts—from penny-farthing bicycles and taxidermy to globes and vintage maps—all contributing to a richly authentic Victorian explorer’s abode. Behind a refined facade and greeted by “Passepartout,” guests are ushered into velvet-toned lounges, a stately fireplace, and checkerboard-floor bar—a perfect setting for sipping globetrotting libations. The adventurous cocktail menu features themed concoctions named for far-flung locales, using rare spirits and inventive ingredients reflecting Fogg’s world journey. Beyond just drinks, the Residence offers immersive experiences like Saturday murder mysteries, with live seasonal music (saxophone, violin, bongos) and theatrical presentation elevating each visit into a theatrical voyage. Luxury meets whimsy here: cocktails average around £18, small plates offer Anglo-European nibbles, and occasional high-end vintage pours are available—justifying the lush Mayfair price tag. It’s intimate (seating for up to ~150 for private events) yet lively, ideal for romantic date nights, cultural celebrations, or storytelling soirées. In sum, Mr Fogg’s Residence is more than just a bar—it’s a theatrical experience: a cocktail-fuelled journey through Victorian curiosity, storytelling, and design.
