Head down Borough High Street, away from the crowded drinking dens that surround Borough Market, and you’ll find The George Inn: a perfect venue for sheltering from cold winter days inside, or enjoying sunny days in the beer garden.
Dating back to 1676, The George Inn has a rich history: once frequented by William Shakespeare and later by Charles Dickens, it’s thought to have hosted theatrical productions in Elizabethan times, and is next-door to the site of The Tabard, an even older pub (built in 1307) where Chaucer set the opening part of The Canterbury Tales.
