William 4th in 1851 census; King William IV in 1843 and just named the King William in 1854. This is earlier the Black Horse, certainly in 1832.
King William was King from June 26th 1830 until his death in 1837; I guess this was why this was previously the Black Horse!
Comparing the 1832 and 1842 street directories answers some questions, and also raises more questions?

Bell's Weekly Messenger 29 December 1811 - case linked to the Pear Tree
Summary - Shadwell Police Office, Monday, December 23rd
John Harris stated on the night of the murder, Williams came to bed at a little past two. He found the muddy stockings and shoes which Williams afterwards took, and washed them. Williams once observed that Mr Lee's house, the Black Horse, in Gravel lane, was a convenient one for robbery, the outlet behind was so good.
Mr Lee said that he once caught Williams opening his till.
