George IV

Bar Pub

👍 Good quality traditional pub between Holborn and the Strand. More ale / craft beer wouldn't go amiss, but well worth a look in. People often mention great,

    Without a doubt my favourite place to hang out in the Holborn area! Dave and his team do an amazing job at making you feel at home. The music is great although not too loud which allows you to have a conversation. And now for the bit that you actually care about: prices are very much student friendly!

    Being right outside the LSE, this was our go-to place for any celebrations or for the customary Friday evening drinks. It's a bit overpriced and gets very crowded especially on Fridays. But it's always good to stand outside and enjoy a pint when the weather is good.

    A great visit to George IV yesterday, with nice beers and food. It's extremely close to the road leading towards Holborn Station. Would recommend trying it out if you haven't been before.

    Sat outside as it was a sunny evening (don't get many of them!) Decent enough choice of beer, I went for a Doom Bar which was lovely. They rotate their craft offering so you get a different choice each time. The pub is located on the LSE campus so you get a lot of students here. Closed at weekends.

    George IV is a LSE institution and a great place to soak in the academic environment. Students and staff over-flowing into the adjacent streets is a common sight at the pub. The friendly staff and good collection of drinks makes George IV a must visit. The pub also offers upstairs area for drinks receptions.

    Great PUB in the middle of The LSE Campus. The staff is very friendly and efficient. They have a young student crowd, making it a great place to meet new people.

    The Lse pubs for postgraduate students. Price are okish but not uni prices. The place is pretty small so the tables get filled up pretty quickly especially on Fridays

  • 4/5 Manish R. 1 year ago on Google
    Located in LSE and has limited food or finger food options. Wine and liquor is reasonably priced.

    Two pints in central London for under a tenner - amazing! Really friendly barman and decent atmosphere as well.

  • 5/5 Martin B. 4 years ago on Google
    Quite an easy pub within the London School of Economics. Always a convenient and accessible joint where lots of academics and students may meet informally for drinks and chats.

    Lovely pub with great pint of goose ipa

  • 4/5 Vaskor B. 11 months ago on Google
    I think it is part of the London School of Economics these days, but still presumably open for anyone to visit

  • 5/5 Fraser W. 2 years ago on Google
    Decent pint of London Pride amongst the student and barrister throng.
