Located at 541 Kings Road in Fulham, London, The Boundary sits on the border between Fulham and Chelsea — a fitting name for a venue that now bridges multiple sports under one roof.
The historic building dates back to the mid-19th century and has gone through several name changes over the decades before reopening under its current name in March 2025 following an extensive refurbishment.
The Saracens and England hooker, known for his leadership in the national side, has joined forces with an impressive list of cricket stars, including Eoin Morgan, Brendon McCullum, Jos Buttler, Paul Stirling, Sam Billings and Graeme Smith.
Together, the group has created a sports-focused pub designed to appeal to fans across rugby, cricket and beyond.
The revamped Boundary features two floors, with a lively main bar on the ground level, a function and dining space upstairs, and a large beer garden at the back.
Decor throughout the venue includes sporting memorabilia and photos of its famous owners, while live sport is regularly shown on screens, making it a natural destination for supporters.
Food at The Boundary focuses on casual dining, with pizzas and pub classics forming the core of the menu, reinforcing its welcoming atmosphere as a community spot rather than a formal restaurant.
Speaking about the venture, George expressed his excitement at being part of a project that combines sport, hospitality and community spirit, while sharing ownership with athletes he has long admired.
With the combined star power of rugby and cricket champions behind it, The Boundary is set to become a landmark London venue for sports fans eager to enjoy good food, good company and the spirit of English sport.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
