Amazing historic pub in its own courtyard , the oldest standing coach house in London. 3 separate bars , restaurant and lots of outside seating .

Emily Blomquist

Lovely outdoor and indoor atmosphere. Questionable nachos . We thought of them as pita chips with a side of cheese and lots of other gunk... but I was hungry so I ate them.

Ben

Amazing pub full of history, good beers and above average food. Wish they stayed open later on a Saturday. Run by the national trust so you can convince yourself every pint is a donation!

James Parton

Beautiful 17th Century pub . Big outdoor seating area . Marvel at how the building opposite got planning permission.

Liz ????

An old pub experience. Their drafts are the old pull-type which is cool. The gin flight is described as a "sampler" but be warned, it's literally 3 full gin and tonics .

Carl Griffin

London's last galleried inn and dating from the 17th century. Great real ales .

Kavita Gajjar

Historic, great courtyard/beer garden , fairly cheap

Darius Kalinauskas

Such a hidden gem . Quite place next to such a busy area. Food is good, staff is nice, definitely coming back.

London's best-known secret? Set back from the main road , this is a gorgeous historic pub . Best visited during the day when it's quieter .

Paul Anderson-Foster

The magnificent galleried coaching inn , which can be enjoyed from the courtyard . The beers are great, and good food too.

Ian Richardson

Great pub , lots of history and a good selection of beers . Swap the hustle and bustle of the city for the great atmosphere and nice courtyard .

dyvroeth

Busy city pub . Packed in early evenings. Book ahead if you want to enjoy your beer sitting down.

Jenny Stewart

Great open courtyard , perfect for summer evenings.

Martin Tiedemann

30 January: Passengers once stayed here before setting off by stagecoach from ancient Watling Street for Canterbury: either as pilgrims, or heading for the sea ports beyond, bound for the continent.

Gabi Amorim

Amazing pub , great food, the place is cozy and comfy .

Brooke Louise

Initially surly bar person gruffly informed me there was no vegan thing left; eventually discovered it was their supplier hadn't delivered. Friends in the end. Good chips .

HISTORY UK

The courtyard here was once surrounded on 3 sides by galleries , 1 of which survives. In medieval London such places became informal theatres , and inspired early theatres like The Globe.

Martin Broadhurst

Rib eye roast beef was great, as was the sausage and mash . The whole roast chicken dinner will feed plenty.

Andrew Marks

£5 pounds for a lager , but an absolutely lovely pub . Come here for sunday lunch , not to drink.

Chris Phillips

Historic inn . Past patrons of note have included Charles Dickens and William Shakespeare

Christopher Fryer

Iervolino Francesco

Good atmosfere . Great place to have fun and have good time with friends.

Howard Pitler

The beef pie goes well the George Ale .

Londonist

Surely everyone knows about the George? To be in with a chance of it not being rammed, avoid straight after work or weekends when Borough Market 's open.

Matthew Goldsmith

Superb pub and you are giving money to the National Trust with the profits !

Late afternoon is the perfect time for a pint at the outdoor picnic tables - score a heater in the fall.

Large outdoor area and sometimes a Saturday hog roast

It's a fairly big place, so usually somewhere to sit, but it can get busy.

Robert Knox

Amazing pub . Oldest in London.

Ceara Pixie

Good outside courtyard with plenty of tables

Andrew McDonough

Nice courtyard for outdoor drinking. Always incredibly busy though, and after about 6:30pm, it's difficult to find a table outside .

Victor Chu

The bartender does not know the history of its tavern which used to be called "Tabard".

Andrey Osipov

Cozy . Nice. Crowded , still comfortable .

Önder Bingöl
