Need Help? Use our FREE Service.

Approach the glass fronted facade and glimpse into a haven that includes a stunning bar, two cocktail lounges, a contemporary kitchen complete with chef’s table, decadent wine store and a quintessentially British delicatessen, courtesy of Borough Market’s finest producers. Located on Gresham Street in the City, The Anthologist offers discerning guests something a little out of the ordinary.
Encapsulating a collection of all your favourite things, the anthologist offers a seasonal all day menu, vintages from across the globe, skinny cocktails, a mixology table and an assortment of spaces for any occasion including a private room complete with 1950’s kitchen.

Serving breakfast from 8am, The Anthologist is the ideal destination for a quick coffee and warm pastry on the go, or a more relaxed ‘fully loaded’ traditional English with the morning paper. With free WiFi throughout, there’s no better place to stop when out of the office. Come lunch and dinner, the modern European menu champions local and seasonal produce, with Borough Market favourites such as the Flour Station featuring alongside Allen’s of Mayfair. Offering a range of nibbles for one or more to share, sharing boards, gourmet sandwiches and burgers as well as hearty mains and zesty salads, The Anthologist’s menu is filled with innovative dishes.

Exposed brick, antique mirrors, a marble mixology table, a lovers swing seat and a 1950’s style kitchen are just some of the statement pieces to be discovered in The Anthologist. Through the central double doors, guests are greeted with a capacious bar filled with colour, texture, style and a playful sense of fun. Reclaimed pine flooring leads guests around vibrant orange high tables to an impressive walnut bar that is the central focus of the whole venue.

To the right is the open plan kitchen where The Anthologist chefs are seen prepping, peeling and serving at the pass. Diners can pull up a stool here to catch all the action or slip into the lilac alcove chef’s table complete with vibrant cerise and white chairs, and walls adorned with botanical sketches from floor to ceiling. Raised cabana style seating perched in the windows allows diners to sit aloft whilst the main dining area is filled with low-level tables and stocky wooden benches. Empty magnum bottles hang from the deli ceiling and an aged chest of drawers is topped with baskets of fresh produce and jars of vibrant sweets.

To the left of the main entrance are two striking cocktail lounges, the first called the snug is cleverly partitioned with laser cut metal screens to create a semi-private space for guests. With wood-panelled walls bathed in lavender the effect is serene yet sophisticated. The Panel Room is the second, holding up to 55 seated guests along milk chocolate banquettes and contemporary white rocking chairs.

Down the champagne-cased staircase couples can enjoy a quiet moment on the swing chair, before making their way past ‘pepper’, the black pig who is only to happy to hold your drinks, before stumbling upon Studio 58. A private room for up to 60 guests, the studio comes complete with a 1950’s kitchen, ultimately where all the good parties start and finish, and doubles as a private bar (hired with or without a mixologist). Brushed white, the space includes a mezzanine tasting table for private dinners or wine tastings for 12.

Open from 7:30am till late, Monday – Friday and available for exclusive hire on weekends, with ‘wine to go’, music and a late license until 2am on Thursday and Friday, The Anthologist is a collection of spaces brought together with style, sophistication and substance.

I have used ‘Function Fixers’ now on many occasions and they are my go-to for literally any event I need help with organising. Heather is an absolute superstar who is always there to help and goes above and beyond to find me the perfect venue and make sure it is a smooth transition from start to finish.

I would highly recommend them to anyone and am so thankful to have found the company…absolute life and time savers, and certainly ‘fixers’!!

      I recently engaged the services of Function Fixers to help source a venue for a finance conference.  The customer service was simply amazing and Heather and the team went over and beyond throughout the process holding our hands every step of the way and interfacing with the venue so well.

We settled on Mary Ward House and the experience left us thrilled and extremely fulfilled.

Thank you Heather,  Thank you Function Fixers, Thank You Mary Ward House.

Will definitely recommend 💯

      Exceptional Service for Event Venue Selection!

We recently worked with Function Fixers to find the perfect venue for our upcoming events, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Theresa Knight was incredibly helpful, professional, and dedicated to understanding our specific needs.

Theresa took the time to ask detailed questions about our event format, guest count, and desired location. She then presented us with a variety of options that perfectly matched our criteria. We were truly impressed with the range of venues she found and her in-depth knowledge of each location's amenities and capabilities.

Throughout the entire process, Theresa was responsive, efficient, and always available to answer our questions.  She made the venue selection process stress-free and enjoyable.  We are incredibly grateful for her expertise and guidance.

Based on this outstanding experience, we highly recommend Function Fixers to anyone searching for a reliable and resourceful event venue partner. We look forward to building a lasting relationship with Function Fixers and working with Theresa and the rest of the team again for future events.

      Function Fixers is my go to team for support with venue finding. All those of us that work in event organisation know how agile and quick footed you have to be to organise them effectively, as people, agenda, budgets, dates change so easily. This did not phase Theresa one bit...we sent email after email back and forth as my venue brief changed regularly, as did finding the right date. Theresa dealt with it with a level of patience I wish I had! And email conversations were always full of detail and fun.

Theresa responded so quickly to my emails, always remaining positive that a venue would fit our needs and she was right. The handover to the venue was done promptly and we are in full swing of event organisation.

Thank you Theresa, Heather and FF...we will definitely be back with future venue needs!
