Aka George in 1839, and George & Dragon from 1841 to 1869; at its old address of 275 Whitechapel Road. The original 'George & Dragon' seems to have been demolished by 1882, with a replacement 'Old George' built by 1891 at least. It had ceased to be a pub by 1912 and was then for many years a photographic studio - the green Art Deco tiling was added after it had closed as a pub. Today the premises houses a sandwich bar. **
