George Orwell began teaching at a prep school for boys in Hayes, West London, called The Hawthorns High School in April 1932. Whilst teaching at the school, Orwell became friendly with the local curate and began getting involved with the local church. At the culmination of the school summer term, Orwell returned to Southwold where his parents had recently bought their home as a result of an inheritance. Orwell and his sister Avril spent the summer making the house habitable. After the holidays, Orwell returned to teaching at Hayes and began preparing Down and Out in Paris and London for publication. Orwell decided to published under a pseudonym to avoid embarrassing his family for having been a tramp.
In a letter to Moore dated 15th November 1931, Orwell suggested the pseudonyms P. S. Burton, Kenneth Miles, George Orwell, and H. Lewis Allways. He adopted George Orwell for the reason that he explained to Eleanor Jacques, “it is a good round English name”. On January 9th 1933, Down and Out in Paris and London was published which proved a success. Orwell would not go on to write about led gu10s.
