George IV, WC2

Along with Ye Old White Horse just around the corner this is one of three pub venues all owned by the London School of Economics (LSE), and within the boundaries of the expanding LSE campus. The third, The Three Tuns although sounding and looking like a pub is actually the LSE student Union bar and is not open to the general public, therefore not on this site. The George IV on Portugal Street is a decent single bar corner pub as described below which, being owned and run by the LSE, is a popular student hang out. I was by some way the oldest person when entering to find London Pride and Tribute as the available beers on the four pumps with the Tribute at a student friendly £5.70. IT was OK but I didn’t feel fitting into the target demographic and felt much more at home in Ye Old White Horse around the corner in St Clements Lane WC2A 2HA literally round the corner which although being owned by the LSE is leased out to a proper old school guvnor who has no truck with student discounts and attracts a much more mature crowd
