The 10 Best Art & Culture Bars In Borough, London
Almost two millennia ago, the Thames-side area now called Borough was the thriving nexus of trade in Roman London, mainly thanks to its proximity to the river. The famed Borough Market continues this trading tradition today, offering all manner of ambrosial foodstuffs to the wandering traveller or foodie. Woven into the fabric of this hub of comestible commerce is a selection of historic pubs and elegant bars, and we’ve chosen 10 of the best.
1. The George Inn
Gastropub, Pub, Pub Grub
For the historically inclined, there is no greater watering hole in Borough than The George Inn, which dates back to 1676. In 17th century London, The George Inn would have provided bounteous beverages to revive weather-beaten travellers arriving afresh in the Capital. Thirsty guests can choose from a range of Cask Marque Ales, including Greene King IPA, Abbot Ale, The George Ale, and a number of tantalising guest ales that vary from month to month. Whilst supping one of these fine ales, enjoy the same environs that none other than English literary giant Charles Dickens once enjoyed: The George Inn was one of his regular haunts.
2. Union Street Bar
Restaurant, Bar, Cafe, Italian, Vegetarian, Mediterranean
Descend softly lit stairs and slide into one of Borough’s finest quaff-sanctuaries, Gordon Ramsey’s Union Street Bar. Located beneath the Union Street Café, this cosy corner of London is an excellent place to relax after a long day of work, or to engage in conversation with convivial companions. Diners from the café should sidle down to enjoy a postprandial cocktail or three, perhaps a North by Northwest, made with Ketel One Citroen vodka, St Germain, pear and lemon juices, sugar syrup, and some fresh basil, piquant and refreshing. Whilst imbibing your chosen drink, enjoy the aesthetic splendour of the specially commissioned artworks that adorn the bar’s walls, all depicting different aspects of London living.
