About the Pub
The ground floor bar gives a “quintessential British pub experience” and offers a short menu of traditional pub snacks, main courses and puddings from Wednesday to Sunday. The “Upstairs at The George” offers up-market food dining and a sparkling wine bar all set in in beautiful surroundings: chandeliers, Persian rugs, tiled fireplaces and so on. Note the finely-lit wine "cellar"; the wine list here is spectacularly long and includes a large selection of southern-county English wines in addition to wines from around the world.
Prices here reflect the ambience. Sister pub to the Cadogan Arms in Chelsea.
Historic Interest
Established on this site in 1677 the George is a Grade II listed building (Historic England ref 1392409), rebuilt at a cost of £4,467 by Bird & Walters in 1878. It was a large corner pub that has kept its excellent Victorian wood panelling, gilded mirrors, and ceramic panels and tiling. It was yet another pub frequented by the impoverished wartime Fitrovian set of writers, scratching around for work at the nearby BBC. The pub was nicknamed the Gluepot by Sir Thomas Beecham because he claimed his musicians kept getting stuck there!
