MJ Maccardini (trailerfullofpix)'s photos with the keyword: George IV

The area got its name from a statue of King George IV that was erected in the middle of the busy intersection of the Euston Road, the Caledonian Road and the Pentonville Road. Because the statue impeded the flow of traffic and as George IV was very unpopular, the statue was removed and the base demolished after only a few years.
