Tris C left this review about The George IV (Regency Hotel)

This is a former Watney’s house, dating from at least the mid-19th century, located just 50m from the real-life St. Frideswide’s, renamed St. Nonnatus House in Call the Midwife.
This is now a rather unprepossessing location, just off East India Dock Road, home to a myriad phone and money-change concessions/cheap booze/fried chicken/kebab outlets. Supposedly now a bar to a hotel above, I’ve rarely seen such a foreboding pub exterior: shabby, virtually no illumination, grotty net curtains and a blue and red LED sign above the door glowing ‘OPEN’ - despite the lack of any obvious activity - the type of thing you’d see on a kebab shop or late-night convenience store (see photo).
My gut instinct told me that venturing beyond the pavement wasn’t to my benefit and the at-least two Range Rovers outside didn’t inspire confidence, so I was on my way: over to you, Strongers.
