The Dragon Bar is the main social space for students at City St George’s, University of London, and is widely used by students’ union clubs and societies to hold a range of events throughout the year. The Dragon Bar is also open to university staff and staff from St George’s University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. The bar benefited from an extensive refurbishment in 2017 and has been transformed into a relaxing and vibrant venue with a unique George’s vibe.
All profits generated from the bar goes back to the students' union (SU) to support the charitable activities the SU provides for students. So by using the SU bar, you are directly helping to support the students’ union and enhance the student experience for those studying at City St George’s.
