Mr Fogg's Cocktails & Curiosities

Mr Fogg's Cocktails & Curiosities runs every Saturday and Sunday afternoon at Mr Fogg's Pawnbrokers, 50 Dean Street in Soho. It's a cocktail experience set inside a Victorian pawn shop hidden behind an unassuming frontage on Dean Street, and it's run by Mr Fogg's, a group of adventurous cocktail bars and taverns inspired by Phileas J. Fogg, the hero of Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days. They also run Cahoots and Bunga Bunga across more than 20 London spaces.

Cocktails & Curiosities, previously known as Topsy Turvy, is presided over by Frank Fogg, Phileas's wayward half-brother and a pawnbroker by trade. The room is split into three spaces — The Pawnbrokers Counter, The Strong Room and The Textiles Room — with tables that double as glass-fronted display cabinets. The drinks menu is presented as a collection of treasures to be examined at the counter, and the cocktails are served in an eclectic array of antique vessels, from ornate Fabergé-style eggs to punch bowls.

The decor is packed with Victorian curiosities: a wall of clocks, mismatched light fittings and outlandish Victorian erotica. It's a place that leans into the pawn shop theme, with the drinks and the room both playing on the idea of treasures and oddities. The experience runs every weekend, with booking times at 2:30pm and 3pm on Saturdays, and 3pm and 4pm on Sundays. It costs £42 per person.
