Sir George Thomas Livesey (8 April 1834 – 4 October 1908) was a British engineer, industrialist and philanthropist. He was the chairman of the South Metropolitan Gas Company, inheriting the business from his father Thomas.[1] Gas Engineering and Management refers to him as an "eminent" figure in engineering,[2] and a blue plaque dedicated to him describes him as "one of Southwark's greatest industrialists".[3]
