East London

East London was a region of London adjacent to Central London.

Limehouse (PROSE: The Time Traveller's Almanac [+]Steve Tribe, BBC Books (2008). Chapter 2, "Brave New World"; Page 49.) and the Isle of Dogs were located there. (PROSE: The Time Travellers' Almanac) Coal Hill School, located in Shoreditch, (TV: For Tonight We Might Die, Nightvisiting) was also located in east London. (TV: The Caretaker) Victoria Street was located in South East London. (GAME: Security Bot [+]BBC (2006).)

Greater London was made up of boroughs. (PROSE: The Time Traveller's Almanac [+]Steve Tribe, BBC Books (2008). Chapter 3, "Everything Changes"; Page 128., TV: Father's Day, Revenge of the Slitheen) Boroughs located in the east of London in the early 21st century included Tower Hamlets, Greenwich, Newham, Barking, Havering and Bexley. (TV: Revenge of the Slitheen [+]Gareth Roberts, The Sarah Jane Adventures series 1 (BBC One and CBBC, 2007).) Hackney was also considered to be part of east London. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die, Nightvisiting, The Caretaker) Whitechapel, part of Tower Hamlets,[1] was described as being in the East End, (PROSE: The Pit) as was Plaistow. (PROSE: Slow Decay)

  1. London Map RotS

    The location of Tower Hamlets on Mr Smith's map. (TV: Revenge of the Slitheen)

    The map of London boroughs in Revenge of the Slitheen shows a bend in the River Thames between Southwark and Tower Hamlets. The same bend appears in the map from The Bounty Hunter, along with roughly the identical borders of Tower Hamlets marked in purple. Whitechapel is within these borders. This definitively places Whitechapel in London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
