The George Inn, rebuilt in 1677, is London's only surviving galleried inn.
Saved by the National Trust, the Grade 1 listed building was once a drinking den for William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens.
The pub was formerly known as the George and Dragon, named after the legend of Saint George and the Dragon. It is possible that it was used for Elizabethan theatrical productions (Inn-yard theatre), as other galleried inns were.
A pub has existed on the site since medieval times. In 1677, it was rebuilt after a serious fire destroyed most of Southwark. The medieval pub was situated next door to an inn where Chaucer set The Canterbury Tales.
Later, the Great Northern Railway used the George as a depot and pulled down two of its fronts to build warehousing. Now just the south face remains.
Charles Dickens visited The George, and referred to it in both Little Dorrit and Our Mutual Friend.
