Hire the perfect pub in Southwark

Somewhere on Snowsfields Road is The Miller, Southwark’s answer to anyone who’s wanted a pub and comedy club. Come on down for your pick of their rotating cask menu. Think Beavertown, Brixton Brewery, Amstel, Heineken, and Birra Moretti.

Maybe it’s the foosball table, the interesting art of the Mona Lisa or maybe it’s the comedy stage, but you wouldn’t be mistaken for thinking you’re in a bar in New York. This isn’t your regular pub, it’s a cool pub.

If you’re in the mood for a chuckle or two, they also host a Hoopla improv comedy club upstairs and a live DJ every Friday night. Beers, live music, and comedy, now doesn’t that sound like a good night out?

Right at the front of Borough Market (Southwark Street, to be exact), is the cosy and well-loved pub, The Southwark Tavern. Get away from the monotony of the day and the busy streets, sit down with friends or colleagues, and grab a pint. You’ll be here a while.

With colourful stools and a bar so blue that it’s hard to miss, it’s a little cheerier than your usual pub, and just what you need after a long day.

Try one of their craft beers, fruity ciders, or maybe an international larger. Or take a look at their food menu. Halloumi fries, anyone?

What do Dickens, Shakespeare, and Southwark have in common? A lot, probably. One thing though, is that the two literary greats used to drink at this pub (Dickens even referred to it in his novel, Little Dorrit).

The George Inn, or The George as it’s more commonly known, has its own impressive piece of Southwark history. It’s the only remaining galleried London coaching inn. During the 17th century, stagecoaches to and from London would stop by here.

Now the pub, which also has a lovely beer garden serves as a rest stop for thirsty Londoners and tourists.

If you’re in the mood for a side of history with your pint, The George’s doors are open.
