...a traditional techno-pub?...
GEORGE	LONDON W1F 8DG	D'Arblay Street, Soho
What's a pub which plays loud music doing in a guide like this? Well, because it's actually quite a nice pub. The George advertises itself as a 'traditional Victorian' pub. So many pubs in Soho have been turned into continental style bars, the George has to be congratulated for not following suit. The single bar is smallish, with a stripped oak floor and panelled walls. The curved bar counter looks original, as do the brass ceiling lights. The windows have etched and cut glass.	Three huge mirrors decorate the walls. One, advertising Meux & Co. ales, has painted decorations applied on the mirrored side, the silver being added afterwards, a technique developed at the end of the 19th century. The others, advertising mineral water and whisky, are good examples too. The beers are well kept and there's a selection of wines on offer. Take your own earplugs! The George is on the corner of Wardour Street and D'Arblay Street.
