overview
St George's dates from 1762–3 and is now the oldest German church in Britain. It served as a religious centre for generations of German immigrants who worked in the East End sugar refineries and in the meat and baking trades right up until the First World War. The area around Aldgate was known as 'Little Germany' and was for much of the 19th century the largest concentration of German-speaking people outside the German homelands.
