East End of London

The East End of London, known locally as the East End, generally means the area of central London, England, east of the medieval walled City of London and north of the River Thames. It is generally made up of the western side of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and southwestern corner of the London Borough of Hackney. It is poorer and is cheaper to live in than the West End, so it has had many immigrants over the years, including Huguenot, Irish, Jews, Germans and more recently Bengalis.
