The George stands at 40 Tower Bridge Road, SE1, in what was historically Bermondsey, and is still often referred to as “The George, Bermondsey”. It was built in the 1930s as a purpose‑built Truman’s Brewery house, designed by architect A. E. Sewell, in that distinctive inter‑war “improved” pub style with faience tile and brick.
Interesting fact...
Nearby, under the Southwark raily, there are deep‑level WWII air‑raid shelters and disused tube tunnels that local historians are still unpicking; they run roughly from the London Bridge area south‑east towards Borough, so you’re walking above an underground maze of bomb‑shelter and transport infrastructure when you stroll past The George.
