George Gardstein was born in Russia in about 1887. He was later described as "height 5 feet 9 inches, complexion pale, hair brown, slight dark moustache worn slightly up at ends, good physique."
Gardstein, who probably was an anarchist, had been accused of murder and acts of terrorism in Warsaw in 1905 before his arrival in London.
In London where he shared a room with Fritz Svaars. He later began a relationship with Nina Vassilleva. In March 1910, he rented a room in 44 Gold Street.
Gardstein also owned a Mauser gun, which he concealed in a specially constructed trouser pocket. Later that year he moved to 59 Grove Street and shared a room with Peter Piaktow (Peter the Painter).
On 16th December 1910, a gang that included Gardstein, attempted to break into the rear of Henry Harris's jeweller's shop in Houndsditch, from 11 Exchange Buildings in the cul-de-sac behind.
A neighbouring shopkeeper, Max Weil, heard their hammering, informed the City of London Police, and nine unarmed officers arrived at the house.

The Siege of Sidney Street, popularly known as the "Battle of Stepney", was a notorious gunfight in London's East End on 3 January 1911. Preceded by the Houndsditch Murders, it ended with the deaths of two members of a supposedly politically motivated gang of burglars and international anarchists supposedly led by Peter Piatkow, a.k.a. "Peter the Painter", and sparked a major political row over the involvement of the then Home Secretary, Winston Churchill.
