About The George Inn
London's last surviving galleried coaching inn, owned by the National Trust and dating to the medieval period, though rebuilt after a 1676 fire. The open galleries and courtyard hosted Shakespearean plays, and Dickens referenced it in Little Dorrit.
Insider Tips
The courtyard fills quickly in summer-head to the upstairs galleries where the wooden balconies offer atmospheric seating and a view over the cobbled yard below.
