The Restaurant

The second venue from the team behind Chelsea’s The Cadogan Arms, The George is a grade II listed building in the heart of Fitzrovia, dating back to 1738. Situated over three floors, an intensive renovation has seen the ground floor pub restored to its former glory with cask ales, craft beers, seasonal cocktails and wines on tap.

Upstairs @ The George is home to the UK's first English sparkling wine bar, showcasing the best of British producers with an impressive list of current and library vintages, many of which are not available elsewhere.
