Recently refurbished but remaining a traditional country pub in the lovely village of Downe, with pleasant relaxing atmosphere. The village is famous for being the home of Charles Darwin, creator of the theory of evolution by natural selection. His residence - Down House - is now a museum. The village can be reached from Bromley using the 146 bus which terminates near the pub. Generous menu with a good selection of home made pies advertised daily. Sunday roasts.

Note that opening hours may vary - please check with pub.

Historic Interest

Dating from the early 19th C, this was originally called just the George. Charles Darwin and his young family stayed here whilst house hunting, prior to moving into Down House in 1842. At that time, the pub also served as a grocer's shop and was described by Darwin as "a little pot-house".
