The George is not exactly your typical East London local, but it's definitely a venue worth seeking out. It feels curiously like some kind of mixture of traditional pub and a Brooklyn hipster hangout, and that is exactly its charm. It feels almost verging on derelict - peeling paint on the ceiling, cobwebs, a bar that feels almost plonked in the corner. Plus so many of the windows are...more

The George isn't the kind of place I'd visit that often, just because I'm not much into the night life, but then again I had the need of only one visit to change my mind. The unique authentic atmosphere reminding of an 18th - 19th century pub with an old piano and spooky colourful windows was enough. I wouldn't say that its crowd or scene is consistent since the place attracts wide array of...more
