George

About this place

A Grade I listed galleried coaching inn on Borough High Street dating back to the 17th century, the George Inn is the last surviving example of its kind in London and the only pub owned by the National Trust. Its cobbled courtyard, wooden galleries and low beamed interior feel genuinely unchanged by the centuries, and Charles Dickens was a regular who even mentioned it in Little Dorrit. A pint in the courtyard on a summer evening is one of those simple London pleasures that is absolutely worth seeking out.
