Hybrid workers at Broadcasting House, W1 may be interested in the re-opening of The George this Thursday, depending on their salaries. There's little pre-publicity, but those who have peered in through the windows suggest the new operators, JKS Restaurants, are more interested in diners than drinkers.
The Grade II listed pub was famously nicknamed The Gluepot by Sir Thomas Beecham who felt his musicians got stuck there during intervals.
We turned up yesterday on spec, twenty people on an Asian Network leaving do. It was fantastic, good beer, good food, lovely staff. It deserves to thrive. Also they haven't ruined the original pub, just done it up on a really sympathetic way.
