Not what you're really after, but a bit of extra colour perhaps.

I don't have any Reed connection, but at the same time as your George Reed, my Banbury family were living in Galway Street and Lizard Street which are on the other side of Bath Street from Peerless Street near to Old Street in Finsbury.  The women from this part of my family, in the 1890s, also were in the boxmaking trade so there must have been a big factory nearby. This is one of the things I planned to look into, so if you've any more info I'd be pleased to hear it.

Peerless Street is still there but almost all of this area was redeveloped in the 1950s and 1960s. I remember it from my childhood visits to grandparents.

St Pauls church was in Central Street, but no longer exists, the parish being combined into St Clements in King Square, Goswell Road.

Other family connections in this area are Newman, and Barratt.

You might find this web site interesting. It shows Shoreditch  as it was in Victorian times - not an ideal place to live!
