The George Tavern
Pauline purchased The George Tavern in 2003. The Georgian public house (formerly The Halfway House) is situated in the East End of London in Stepney and is a Grade II listed building. Pauline has built up The Georges reputation as a top music, performance and art venue, and a location for film and advertising.
Acts that have played at The George include John Cooper Clarke, Evan Dando, Pete Doherty, Snow Patrol, Duran Duran and Nick Cave.
The George Tavern recently launched a campaign to stop a development attached to the historic building. The campaign featured friends of The George Tavern including Amy Winehouse, Kate Moss, Sir Ian McKellan and John Cooper-Clarke. In early 2009 the Planning Inspectorate refused planning permission for the development.

Famous quotes containing the word tavern:
“Rude poets of the tavern hearth,
squandering your unquoted mirth,
which keeps the ground, and never soars,
while jake retorts, and reuben roars;
tough and screaming, as birch-bark,
goes like bullet to its mark;
while the solid curse and jeer
never balk the waiting ear.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
