A pub, hotel and and music bar on the perimeter of Cambridge Circus, at the corner of Romilly Street and Moor Street. First licensed in 1686 as the George, the current building dates from 1898 and the current name from 1986. (One of the old names, Cantons, can be seen being held by one of the gargoyles on the top of the building).

Famous in the 1960s and 70s for folk music and then punk, latterly it has become a jazz venue and home to SpiceJazz club. Up to 5 cask ales from the McMullen range on offer and free admission to the main bar but you may well have to pay for music gigs in the basement, see venue website. If you are not drinking and want to listen to the music and drive, the public car park in Chinatown is only a short walk away.

Note that under the licence terms alcohol may not be sold before 10am.

Information for this venue is provided by the West London Branch of CAMRA
