The pub is a welcome hostelry at the end of many a walking tour along the South Bank.

History

The George Inn is the oldest pub in London, we can see this place in the first map of Southwark (1543). The present building dates from 1677, because in 1677 the George Inn was rebuilt after a serious fire that destroyed most of medieval Southwark.
