picture of George IV
The George IV is a fantastic proper Victorian pub, just where you wouldn't expect one. Tucked off Kentish Town High Road on the edge of an industrial estate, the exterior is an ivy covered wonder, complete with charming globe lamps inscribed with 'GR IV'. Inside is equally good, with pictures covering every inch of the wall space and perfect lighting, which included a lamp for every table. Nothing of note on the beer taps, sadly, and the food seems pretty minimal, but the service was as friendly as the locals who make up the clientele of this strong community-led pub. If they could find themselves some real ale and give the gents get a sprucing up, we'd be regulars. Either way the George IV proves that not every local's pub is tired or unwelcoming.
