One of Salisbury’s Oldest & Most Storied Pubs.

Dating back to 1530, The George & Dragon is one of Salisbury’s oldest public houses, steeped in history and legend. Nestled on Castle Street beside the beautiful River Avon, our Grade II listed building originally served as a lively 16th-century coaching inn for weary travelers, and was known in its earlier years as the infamous “Silent Woman.”

Tales from our past — from a legendary house of ill repute to stories of intrigue and folklore — have shaped the unique atmosphere you’ll find here today. Enjoy classic ales, delicious pub meals, and a riverside garden, all while soaking up an ambiance echoing with centuries of stories.

Be part of our story — where the past meets the present in true English pub tradition.
