Notes: I believe this may be the same premises that in 1840 and earlier is referred to as the "King and Queen", though it is named as the "Queen Victoria" in the 1841 directory. There's a case viewable on the Old Bailey Online (ref. t17831210-4) in which the keeper of the "Duke's Head" (later the "Old Duke William", 9 Old Gravel Lane, see separate entry) says his pub is located between the "King and Queen" and the "Hoop and Bunch of Grapes" (later "Hoop and Grapes", 112 St George St, see separate entry), which would be consistent with this pub, located on the other side of the road and to the south a little from the "Old Duke William".
