Book Direct - Best Rate Guaranteed

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.

Our Rooms

  • Boutique
  • Feature Boutique

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.

This room has ample space to check-in, unpack your delicates, and chill-out. Topped-off with an uber-comfy Hypnos bed, ensuite shower, honesty bar (stocked to the brim with treats and tipples) a Nespresso coffee machine too.

Central Location

Handily placed, Farringdon station is just a 4min walk away from the pub, so you’ll not have far to carry your cases. You’re at the British Museum, Covent Garden or bustling Southbank lickety-split in less than 20mins too. Bob-on for a spot of sightseeing.

Staying Over?

How long should you stay in Farringdon?

We love our corner of London and know you will too. We think a stay of two nights is pretty perfect. A little less? You’ll have a great time (we promise), but there’s just so much to see and do in and around Farringdon that you’ll wish you had an extra night with us. Staying for longer? We’ll give you all the hints and tips to make sure our hotspot props the top of your city break hitlist, time and time again.

What are the best things to do in Farringdon?

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.

We’re a friendly bunch and we know our hometown better than anyone, so feel free to ask us for more personal recommendations when you’re here.

Check-out is by 11am.
