Southwark St George Martyr index
At 21 Kent Street in 1876 and earlier, renamed to Tabard Street in 1877. The address is 19 Kent Street in 1856 and earlier, and it's unclear if the pub moved slightly or was renumbered by 1869, when it's at 21 Kent Street (or that latter address may be an error). * Closed in 1931 by the compensation authority.
