Tris C left this review about Royal George
For the record, a Royal George has existed here since the early 18th century, rebuilt in 1887 with the current incarnation dating from 1977. A return after 35 years to a pink fascia’d pub next to G-A-Y’s rear entrance and little of the original interior remains, save for some dark wood baronial panelling to the rear, bar front and possibly brick footrest. The ceiling is low and white, walls burgundy above a dado beneath which is mid-grey painted wainscoting, with décor amounting to cheap Camden-branded pan-sexual orientation bunting; furniture is mixed, the soundtrack decent, customers were few.
Cask amounted to just Tribute, served by friendly barman at £2.80 a half and barely drinkable.
This isn’t the best pub in the area and it’s not the worst, but it’s below average; make of that what you will.

Set back in a side alley despite its Charing Cross Road address, this pub is easily recognisable by its garish pink sign. A pretty basic bar in a 70's office block, with an even more basic basement below, and the only real 'attraction' being a regular disco. It does however at least have two handpumps and Cask Marque accreditation; one is only Doom Bar but the other offered St Austell Proper Cracker in good condition.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Royal George
Small pub located in a charmless 1970s building located at the end of Goslett Yard, a short side street on the west side of Charing Cross Road. Almost hidden by the long-term Crossrail works outside, and façade has hardly been enhanced by the garish pink colour scheme added since my last visit about five years ago. Very cramped inside, especially during the regular live music events, meaning that there is often a large crowd out on the pavement (although not this time). However, there is also a downstairs bar so you wonder why they don't make more use of it. Food offer now 'Ruby Jean's Diner'. Two handpumps, but with the Doom Bar off, this just left Tribute (£3.75).
