Vivian De Gurr St George

Vivian De Gurr St George (1893 in India – ?) was a 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.
