look-uplondon:The George Inn, just off Borough High Street dates from 1677 but there’s been an inn on this site since medieval times. It also is the only surviving original galleried coaching inn in London. Coaching inns were common before the invention of railways, often spaced ten miles apart across the country. In Shakespeare’s times plays would have been performed beneath the crowded galleries. #LookUpLondon #london #pub history #Southwark #Shakespeare #theatre #history #londonhistory #lookup #pub #medieval (at The George Inn) -- source link
