Newly refurbished in February 2008. A single traditional large bar now restored to its comfortable Victorian splendour. Open fire. Large leather sofas and traditional oak tables. Popular with rugby enthusiasts and pub quizzers on Tuesday nights.

Large outside seating area on the streets. They boast to be the tallest pub in London - since 1870. Well worth the walk up from Old Street tube. Food comprises Sour Dough Pizzas which have won awards (see website for full details and the menu on the day).

The BII say that "We are delighted to recognise Charlie and the whole team at this historic venue as BII Sustainability Champions". A number of plant-based ingredients that are used in the George & Vulture’s menu are grown on the rooftop, while there are also several bee hives that help to pollinate the produce grown there.

Historic Interest

Local Listing:- A triking tall (reputedly the tallest pub in London) corner Victorian public house. Built at the end of 19th century in red brick with white stone dressings, the pub has a tall striped gable to both fronts and surviving tall chimneys. Corner pepper-pot turrets. Decrative plasterwork above windows. It is a handsome landmark that has been well restored c.2007.
