The George Orwell is now closed.

Free House on Essex Road serving a vast range of real ales, beers, wines, & premium spirits to a backdrop of quality music. The George Orwell is one of Islington's finest Free Houses on a site that has been home to a drinking establishment since the 19th century. They are a traditional pub with an open fireplace, beer garden, real ale, world beers, Sussex cider, scotch eggs, film club, free wi-fi, board games, record sales, late license, big screen (showing sky sports and main sporting matches) and much more. Also available for private hire, including large areas or the whole pub, for your event (we have an incredible sound system installed!). Just click "Hire this Venue" above to get started. From fairly soon onwards they will be hosting a Monday night film club;it's in the planning stages at the moment. In the meantime join the GO Film & Book Club facebook group.
