George and Vulture, Grade II listed pub in City of London, England.
The George and Vulture is a Grade II listed pub occupying a corner site at Castle Court in the City of London, featuring traditional architectural design with multiple dining areas spread across its space. The building retains its historic layout and structure from its early years of operation.
The pub was founded in 1746 and has operated continuously through centuries of London's growth and transformation in the financial district. Its survival reflects how the City changed around it while the establishment remained in place.
The place features in Charles Dickens' novel The Pickwick Papers, giving it a role in English literary history that readers still recognize today. You can walk through the same rooms that the author knew and described in his work.
The place operates during meal service times with breaks in between, serving traditional beers on tap throughout the day. Its location in the City of London makes it easy to reach, though it sits in a busy business area that feels quite different after working hours.
The interior preserves original elements from the 1700s, including wooden paneling and architectural details protected by listed building status. These carefully maintained features allow visitors to experience hospitality from an earlier time.
