"The dockside Connaught Tavern originally opened to cater for passengers disembarking from craft berthing at the Victoria Docks. But as passenger numbers reduced the pub found itself catering more for the dock’s labourers and became a daily congregation point for those waiting to be picked for work." - https://londonsroyaldocks.com/forgotten-stories-the-pubs-of-londons-royal-docks/
