The King George's group of Stevenage, in the United Kingdom is a spontaneous union of local teenagers primarily from Stevenage and also from the surrounding area (such as Hitchin, Letchworth and Knebworth). Since the group's primary meeting place; King George V playing fields is an open air location, the group rarely gathers in large numbers during the winter, however during the summer large numbers of teenagers mostly between the ages of 15-20 gather either in the play park there, or on the grass in the classic circular meeting style almost everyday during the British summer holidays. Usually from from early afternoon to very late in the evening.

Social Aspects
The popular perception of "KGs" is that it is merely a large convocation of Emos, however, this opinion is widely resented by its members. There are comparatively few who consider themselves to be Emo and also a minority of those perceived as being Chavs. The majority of "KGs", as they are collectively known, do not consider themselves to be of any particular clique and choose to associate themselves more with the park itself, rather than their clothing, musical tastes or social background.

An important aspect of the King George's social group is music. While music tastes vary wildly, a common occurrence is the appearance of a guitar (due to its portable nature), though musicians of other dicaplines have been known to have met there and subsequently formed bands of vary-ing genres, although none of them have yet made it into the mainstream.

The group is known for its drink and drug intake, with vodka seeming to be a winning favourite amongst the teens and the drugs considerably less. in fact in a way KG's is just a bunch of doped up kids and adults lazing together in perfect harmony, the ideal society some may say.
