The George and Vulture was built in 1746 as a public house in Castle Court, near Lombard Street. There has been an inn on the site for centuries.

It was said to be a meeting place of the notorious Hellfire Club and is now a City chop house. It is mentioned at least 20 times in The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens, who frequently drank there himself.
