About this place The George & Dragon

The George & Dragon is a gay pub at 2 Blackheath Hill, between Greenwich and Blackheath in south-east London. QX and GayCities list it as one of the area's gay locals: cabaret and drag from Friday to Sunday, with Sunday shows the ones reviewers mention most, and an 80s and 90s music night on Thursdays. It's a neighbourhood crowd, quieter on some Saturday nights. Ye Olde Rose & Crown, by Greenwich Theatre, and the Lord Clyde in Deptford make a south-east London round. Greenwich and Deptford Bridge DLR are both within walking distance.

A place with great atmosphere and I’ve been going here many years since the Duchess took on this place. It’s friendly, fun, local and open late plus drag with attitude.too! Paul’s put a huge amount of effort in here over the years while all around we see gay venues vanishing from the scene. Love the place . .

We came here as lgbt, none locals, after attending from an event nearby. Seeing as there was potential drag and lgbt acts prime time on a Saturday we were excited to finish our night here or even to have a little dance. We were highly dissapointed. There was no drag act, the place was dead at midnight, the guiness wasn't good. For a Saturday night it was a poor showing. Which was fine but the music was so poor it just killed the vibe. The dance floor was dead, some 80s oor fillers would make every difference. Some stuff i have never even heard of or really backdated, none popular stuff. We sent the drinks back they were so bad, apparently the 'end of the barrel'.Everyone looked depressed . We had one drink and left. Really wished we had picked the other lgbt option in the area. The place needs a little love and attention.
