Biography
Vivian De Gurr St George (11 March 1895 – June 1979) was an English shoeblack who worked at Piccadilly Circus, London, England. He became well-known though the publication of his autobiography, St. George of Piccadilly, in 1953, and his radio appearances.
Educated at a private school, he left home as a teenager, and travelled the world, returning with a wife, Consuelo (a nurse), and family, before setting up as a shoeblack.
He appeared as a "castaway" on the BBC Radio programme Desert Island Discs on 24 September 1954. He died in June 1979 at the age of 84 in Camden, London.
