St George's Day Pubs called George pub crawl

 


I've been meaning to do this for a while, marking St George's Day by visiting a number of pubs called George.
There are a lot of different Georges that pubs get named after and this selection covers some of the main ones.
About 2 hours of walking (or we can get a bus if we get tired or drunk).
Soft drinks are acceptable.

Disclaimer / Warning / Reassurance:
My interest in St George is mainly his Dragon fighting.
I am not a Christian.
I am not an English Nationalist.
I can tell you about the variety of torture that St George was supposed to have been subjected to that made him such a popular Martyr.
