The George

Walk into The George on Glengall Grove and you'll clock it immediately—this is the kind of pub where regulars have their spots and nobody blinks if you're nursing a pint alone at the bar. It's the Isle of Dogs done right: unpretentious, genuinely welcoming, the sort of place that feels like it's been there forever (even if the neighbourhood around it has completely transformed). The bar staff know what they're doing, the drinks list won't confuse you, and there's proper food that doesn't apologise for being simple. You'll find everyone here, from the blokes who've lived three streets over for thirty years to the newer wave of Canary Wharf workers looking for somewhere that feels like an actual pub rather than a spreadsheet.
