About Whitechapel, London City Fringe

Situated close to the London Docklands in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, the East End has long been a popular choice for immigrants looking to settle in London. It has also traditionally been a place for the working class, and was the heart of the capital's Jewish community from the nineteenth century until the early twentieth century.

Whitechapel is bordered by Middlesex Street and Mansell Street in the west, Cambridge Health Road and Sidney Street in the east, Fashion Street in the north, and The Highway in the south. The heart of the area is Whitechapel High Street, which becomes Whitechapel Road towards its eastern edge, and was named after a small fourteenth century chapel dedicated to St. Mary that was destroyed during the Second World War.

Whitechapel has become synonymous with the murders of Jack the Ripper during the late 1880s. George Bernard Shaw and Vladimir Lenin spent time in Whitechapel, which was also where the 'Elephant Man' Joseph Merrick was displayed for some time in a shop on Whitechapel Road before being moved to the nearby Royal London Hospital.

Grow Your Business in Whitechapel

Whitechapel has long played an important role in London industry. Once a Roman trade route, the area is the site of the world's oldest business enterprise. Founded in 1570 the Whitechapel Bell Foundry is the oldest surviving manufacturer in Britain.

There is a diverse range of commercial activity in Whitechapel and local businesses are active in a range of sectors. The arrival of Crossrail has improved connections between the area and other parts of London, including the Heathrow and London City airports, as well as Canary Wharf. This has helped bring new economic activity into the area, including with new office and retail development for Durward Street, to the north of the Crossrail station.

Whitechapel is also home of the Royal London Hospital, a world class facility that has seen an investment of £1 billion to improve health care services in East London. Plans are in place to transform the former Royal London Hospital building into new offices as well as retail, cultural and community spaces. Queen Mary University of London operates a campus in the area, including the Bio Innovation Centre. A new Life Science Campus is proposed under the Whitechapel Vision from the London Borough of Tower Hamlets as part of efforts to attract health, bio-tech and life sciences industries to Whitechapel.
