The George Inn is London's oldest galleried coaching in. Dating back to 1542. When people traveled by horse, a coaching inn was key for when they needed to stop for the night, eat and drink, or change horses. (My understanding of what I have read about them) This is considered a galleried coaching in because you can see the second story balcony/gallery where you could look down into the square. At times there would be performances held in the square! The original building burnt in a fire, but in 1676 it was rebuilt and that is the building that still stands, so it is quite old still This seemed like a great place to try out a delicious Sunday roast and sticky toffee pudding! Afterall, it The George Inn was good enough for William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens, it's good enough for me! ;) Coming Up:

If you love history and travel, you may enjoy touring the reconstructed ship of expedition its Sir Francis Drake, known as The Golden Hinde. During the Elizabethan era, Drake was chosen by Queen Elizabeth I in 1577 to sail around the world in a fleet of 5 ships. In 1580 Drake returned after an incredible voyage full of ups and downs. Check out the ship if you're into this sort of thing for about 7 pounds. Coming Up:

The Tate Modern is a modern art gallery in South Bank, London. It is free to enter and there intriguing, inspiring, cheering, and confusing displays. Let's just say, it's good to have the explanatory plaques..
Check the hours of operation on theTate website. Since we were distracted making our way over to the museum, we didn't have much time before it closed that day. But no big deal, it was free after all!
