The George Hotel, Lambourn
'The George' is the eighth most popular pub name in England - but there is none quite like The George Hotel.
This bustling one-bar pub is right in the heart of Lambourn, the racing capital of Britain, with its plethora of top class stables right on the doorstep.
It is small wonder that The George often boasts some of the top names in racing among its customers and if you are looking for a tip for the big race from a jockey or a trainer 'in the know', then The George is a good place to start!
This is heaven for the racing enthusiast as the pub features a wealth of memorabilia on its walls, all connected with the local thoroughbred industry and if you are staying overnight, you will wake to the sound of the horses being exercised outside the window in the morning.
All this is a bonus in a pub that is also renowned for its warm atmosphere and cheery welcome and it has a fair selection of good value food to offer the hungry visitor - especially the two-legged variety!
