The George Tavern is a Grade II listed public house and music venue located at 373 Commercial Rd, London E1, in Tower Hamlets owned and operated by artist Pauline Forster.
Formerly known as the Halfway House, the building contains original brickwork some 700 years old, and is mentioned in texts by Chaucer, Pepys and Dickens. In 2002, Artist Pauline Forster bought the derelict building at auction and has reopened it as a music, performance and arts venue, and pub. It is also a popular location for photo, film, and video shoots.
The George Tavern was built approximately on the site of the Halfway House, believed to be of mid-17th century origin. Map evidence shows that the Halfway House was rebuilt in the 18th century, some time after 1745, approximately 50 meters to the north east of the earlier inn. Neither building appears on Horwood's map of 1819.
The present building was probably built between 1820 and 1825 and first appears on Greenwood's map of 1827. The pub therefore forms part of the development of Commercial Road, which was created following the Commercial Road Act of 1802 to link the newly built East India Docks and West India Docks to the boundary of the City of London. The pub was remodeled in 1862 by James Harrison and the ground-floor pub interior was further remodeled in 1891 by R. A. Lewcock.
The George is the name of many inns, hotels and public houses in the UK. It may also be a common shortening of The George and Dragon. Notable examples include:

Take a tour of some of the most historic buildings of America. Historic Philadelphia is where the Founding Fathers laid the groundwork for the creation of America. Not only is the city packed with sites that commemorate what they did, but you can visit the places where they actually lived and worked. Let's start with Declaration House on Seventh and Market Street. Thomas Jefferson lived here during the time he wrote the Declaration of Independence. He wrote the document in three weeks. The Liberty Bell, right here on Sixth Street, is perhaps Philadelphia's most famous attraction. On July 8th, 1776, it was rung to commemorate the hearing of the Declaration of Independence. The Bell weighs 2,000 pounds, which may not be apparent by looking at it. It was cracked in 1846, and has not be...
http://joolzguides.com In this London Guide Joolz Guides visits The Viaduct Tavern in Newgate street, underneath which are what remains of the old prison cells. The Viaduct Tavern is a Gin Palace and was the first pub to be lit by electricity, but beware of the Viaduct Tavern ghost! This poor fellow in the red t-shirt saw it looming around in the cellar! Some say that the cells were a part of the infamous Newgate Prison which was across the road where the Old Bailey now stands. Condemned men would be taken from Newgate to Tyburn (currently Marble Arch) to be hanged, a practice that continued for hundreds of years. Famous inmates included Sweeney Todd.

https://www.expedia.com/Vancouver.d178315.Destination-Travel-Guides Vancouver’s breezes carry the scents of nature and aromas of all the urban delights you’d expect from a city regularly voted, “the Worlds most livable”. The city takes its name from the British navigator who landed here in 1792. The original settlement was called “Gastown”, in honor of Gassy Jack, who built the city’s first tavern. Gassy Jack and his makeshift pub may be long gone, but in the historic neighborhood of Gastown, his spirit lingers on. Vancouver’s early history continues at Waterfront Station, the western terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The railway’s construction brought Chinese workers by the thousands, whose descendants have enriched Vancouver ever since. Experience this interweaving of cultu...
http://joolzguides.com In this London Guide Joolz explains how the streets got their names and how the narrowing of the river caused York House Watergate to be isolated. "Of Alley" is a part of the name "George Villiers Duke of Buckingham" for example and there is also George Street, Villiers street and Duke Street. York House Watergate was a part of a grand estate belonging to the Duke of Buckingham who was said to be the lover of King James and fictionalized by Alexandre Dumas in The Three Musketeers. Joseph Bazalgette was assigned the task of narrowing the River Thames after the smells got so bad from the effluence that Parliament was disrupted. The lovely thing about the street names is that you can still see a road which was formerly called "Of Alley" which may seem rather strange. T...
