St Paul's Street / 4 St George's Street
Canterbury
Only reference to this so far is from Stapleton's
Guide of 1838 which gave the address of St. Paul's and not St. Georges.
Perhaps it's a different pub.
However, further research suggests that this 4 St George's Street is also
the address of the "Globe" and a
report in the Kent Gazette of 1844 calls the pub the "Victoria and Globe."

From the Kentish Gazette, 7 April 1846.
On Wednesday last an excellent concert took place at the assembly
room of the "Victoria Tavern." There was a highly respectable
attendance—Mr. T. Delasaux in the chair, who in the course of the
evening proposed a variety of toasts. The orchestra was complete,
and Mr. Farquharson Smith and Miss Goldsmith sang several songs with
great effect, and were loudly and deservedly applauded. This room is
decidedly better adapted for concerts than any other in the city,
and it is only a matter of surprise that one of the already
established musical clubs do not make this their place of meeting.
The principle upon which the concert on Wednesday was conducted was
that of the celebrated old Catch Club, whose season terminated the
previous week. We believe the concerts will be continued for two or
three weeks longer on the Wednesday evening.
