Commander George Whiteside Hillyard, Royal Navy, (6 February 1864 – 24 March 1943) was a male tennis player from the United Kingdom.

Hillyard was born in Hanwell, Middlesex. He was a naval cadet aboard the HMS Bacchante in 1881.

He was also one of the foremost men's players on the international tennis circuit between 1886 and 1914. At the 1908 London Olympics he won the gold medal in men's doubles with Reginald Doherty. From 1907 to 1925, he was secretary of the All England Lawn Tennis Club and instrumental in the construction of Centre Court at Wimbledon.

Hillyard also played first-class cricket for Middlesex and Leicestershire from 1886 to 1896. He also excelled at golf, swimming, pigeon-shooting and billiards.

He married Blanche Bingley, a six-time Wimbledon singles champion, on 13 July 1887 in Greenford, Middlesex. The couple lived in Thorpe Satchville, Leicestershire between 1895 and 1925, and then moved to Bramfold, Pulborough, Sussex, where Hillyard died on Wednesday, 24 March 1943.

The couple had at least two children, Jack and Marjorie.

The York Hall is a health and leisure centre and one of Britain's best known boxing venues.

The venue is situated on Old Ford Road in Bethnal Green, London, England. The hall, opened in 1929 with a capacity of 1,200, stages boxing as well as providing a gymnasium and swimming pool.

The hall is owned by Tower Hamlets Council and in 2004 was threatened with closure. However, the Hall was saved and in 2005 it underwent a major multi-million pound refurbishment in a joint project between the local Tower Hamlets council and Greenwich Leisure. The site is split into two sections: a leisure centre and a hall with gymnasium.

The historic Turkish Bath or banya in the basement was the last publicly run example in the East End of London. In 1972 there were still six Turkish baths, a legacy of the high Jewish population of Russian and Polish origin. This included the traditional suites of Russian and Turkish steam rooms, sauna, relaxation lounge. This popular and often full facility was closed and re-branded as and upmarket "Spa London" by the council in July 2007, amid vocal protests from its users. Treatment rooms were added to provide a range of upmarket beauty treatments. Where customers used to give each other a massage with the traditional Yiddish schmeis free of charge they now have to pay £56 on top of the £21 admission, whilst treatments such as Hydrotherapy Hydration Purity Rituals have been introduced. Neal Hounsell, Head of Leisure Services at Tower Hamlets, justified the re-branding on the basis that the Borough was one of the most deprived in London.
