The George and Dragon was a pub at 2-4 Hackney Road, Shoreditch, East London.
In August 2015, the pub's closure was announced, due to a "dramatic" rent increase, and a campaign was launched for it to become an Asset of Community Value.[1] [2]
It was a well-known gay venue, and featured live arts projects in conjunction with the Institute of Contemporary Arts,[3] and was known for "total fun and mindless hedonism".[4]
