Have Beer For Breakfast at London's Fox & Anchor

Where: 115 Charterhouse St, London, United Kingdom, EC1M 6AA

Boozing and hotels. They're both well up there on our list of things we love. But boozing in hotels isn't always as straightforward as it seems; sometimes it seems like a lot of effort to dress up and do it in a swish bar. And, frankly, most times we can't afford to do it from the minibar.

So the Fox & Anchor sounds like just our kind of place. It's a lovely old pub right in the heart of London (trendy/edgy Clerkenwell) that just happens to have six rooms above it.

And though it's "just" a pub, the rooms are a cut above; it's owned by Richard Balfour-Lynn, the man behind the Malmaison hotel chain. We could have worked this out, really, from the annoyingly chirpsy wordplay on the menu (ie, "Hops & Chops, Cuvees & Duvets").
