I do like the George and usually pop in for one when I’m in the area. It’s worth it just for the building and its history, as it is London's only surviving galleried coaching inn and Dickens allegedly drank here. The ground floor is divided into several connecting rooms with a wealth of lattice windows and oak beams. But the best bit is the courtyard, which really comes into it’s own on a decent sunny evening like last Thursday.
It’s a great historical pub only marginally let down by the boring beer choice and sometimes-iffy service. Although this evening, despite the fact that the outside area was rammed without a spare seat to be taken, I had no problem being served as there was only one in front of me at the outside serving hatch.
Beers available were the usual GK fair (IPA, Abbott, Speckled Hen), but I went for their own George Inn Ale. Yes I know it’s just another GK brew in disguise and I really shouldn’t pander to this tourist nonsense… but Hey Ho, at least it’s not IPA

A really tremendous old coaching inn building wise and in a prime location for London Bridge Station, Borough and the South Bank. But, unless you visit first thing in the morning, it is always crowded. Must agree that the courtyard can get a bit lairy.

Good beer garden, worth a visit just to say you've been but do not eat there - the kitchen is disorganised and can't handle more than one order on one ticket number. The table staff tend to get very stressed and defensive if there is a problem. My food today took nearly 40 minutes but was ok when it arrived (nothing special, though).

Good for an after work drink in the sun as long as you're not there for a quick bite to eat.

Gets very busy and like most pubs around this part of town isn't cheap! Great building, reasonable beer, staff are mostly ok.
