About the Pub
Established on this site in 1677 the George is a Grade II listed building, 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! Until the summer of 2016 the clientele was mainly local office workers and, still, BBC staff, and visitors to London.
