George, Isle of Dogs

Rebuilt in Neo-Georgian style by Watneys in 1932, much can still be appreciated of the original layout, although changes were made in 2017.

The Public Bar, as so often, is placed on the corner and has hefty, lapped boards on the counter front, something that was popular in the Thirties. This room has incorporated what was an off-sales detectable in a blocked exterior door on the left, now a window. The panelling, in Thirties style, is in fact mostly relatively modern and cheaply done. The Lounge Bar and Snug (the latter now named Ma Bakers) were amalgamated in 2017 by cutting a fairly wide opening between them, but original features do survive, such as the fielded panelled counter front (now painted grey in the Lounge Bar area) bar-back with glazed panels and a still-working dumb waiter. There are pretty foliage decorated plaster cornices. An interesting feature in the Public Bar are a couple of tables with 'The George Isle of Dogs' in relief on the hefty metal bases.
