Tower Hamlets was a part of London.

Footnotes[]

  1. K9 Bounty Hunter map 5

    Tower Hamlets, with boundaries drawn here in purple, match up with the boundary of Tower Hamlets on Mr Smith's map. (TV: The Bounty Hunter)

    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 the borough borders - marked with a purple line - which are roughly identical. This definitively places these locations in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

    Canary Wharf on the bank of the Thames, shown as Clara dangles from the TARDIS. (TV: Face the Raven)

    The map of London boroughs in Revenge of the Slitheen matches up with the birds-eye view of London when Clara is shown dangling from the TARDIS in Face the Raven. Canary Wharf can be seen on the bank of the Thames - placing it in Tower Hamlets according to Mr Smith's map, just as the river bends south towards Greenwich. This definitively places Canary Wharf in London Borough of Tower Hamlets.
