The George in Borough is the last surviving galleried inn in London, so it really is a unique pub. It’s likely that Shakespeare drank in The George and the pub was mentioned by Dickens in Little Dorrit. Rebuilt after the Southwark fire of 1676, the former coaching inn was used as a depot by the Great Northern Railway, and now it’s owned by the National Trust. Once you’ve had a chance to soak up the history, you’ve got a fully stocked bar, a menu of pub grub, sports on the telly, and a big beer garden to enjoy.
