2022 Feb To be fair, historical atmosphere is good vibes. However there are a lot of people, it’s not easy to find cosy space. Also you can see a Real horse.

Great pub. It's actually the only surviving galleried London coaching Inn. Original interiors and amazing atmosphere makes you want to just stay in, drink and eat. Food was fantastic. I recommend fried chicken burger. You can also spot original gas lanterns that not many are left in London. Well done for owners for keeping this little pearl of geart London history in such a good shape.

Old style building with good atmosphere and nice space inside and outside. Was quite busy on Thursday evening. One bar is quite small but didn't queue too long. Would recommend. Haven't tried the food but menu looked decent.

Come on on a full belly :p It's an excellent pub, great location, and staff. But i can't give a 5-star after having eaten their food. I had there what was probably the worst steak and ale pie I've ever tasted. The burgers my friends ordered also looked gross. All food seems just out of the microwave, but with real food prices. AVOID THE FOOD at all costs!

Lovely drinkers pub with a huge range of ales at several prices, and pies served. Bookable rooms upstairs and tables can be reserved. Famed as 'Shakespeare's local' but a great pub in its own right, ideal for good conversation with friends or a quiet pint with a book.

When there are festive events going on in London Bridge area or Borough Market, we always seem to finally end up at the George pub. It has a large court yard from which you can see The Shard and they do have outside heaters . The place is big with many sections. There's all a fire place at the front end.. 2 sets of toilets..one at far back and one at the front in a separate building. Staff are friendly.. bar gets busy but you get served quick. Anything from full meals or just coffee and chips.

The staff were amazing helping us throw a safe & most amazing wedding party in December amongst the stress of the pandemic! Cannot recommend this place highly enough for any function, great food, service & atmosphere

3 of us dropped into The George after an afternoon wandering around Borough Market. We were able to get a table right away and there was a great selection of drinks. Staff were so friendly and the pub has a great atmosphere! A really good pub and they have a nice outside area too, will be coming back for sure.

Awesome pub right next to Borough Market/London Bridge! The courtyard offers lovely views of the Shard and the pub has ample seating space both outside and inside. The building itself reminds me of the building style from New Orleans, very cool.It can get busy post work time so be aware if planning to go during the week between 5 and 7.

I booked a table for 8 of us for a post Xmas get together. There was 3 vegetarian’s with us.Let me just say the food was outstanding at every level. The steak and ale pie was one of the best I’ve ever had.Thank you for making it such a lovely day.
