The George Tavern is a Grade II listed pub and independent live-music and arts venue at 373 Commercial Road, Stepney, East London (E1 0LA). The building's brickwork is some 700 years old and it appears in writing by Chaucer, Pepys and Dickens; artist Pauline Forster bought the derelict pub at auction in 2002 and reopened it as a venue, pub and performance space. It hosts curated live music almost every night on an intimate stage in the main bar, and has staged acts including The Magic Numbers, Kodaline, John Cooper Clarke, Nick Cave, Anna Calvi and The Last Dinner Party, alongside spoken word and arts events. A characterful ~150-capacity East End room with full backline and an in-house engineer for booked shows.
