The East End, bounded by the River Lea and the River Thames, was once the home of London’s working class during Victorian times and the birthplace of Cockney Rhyming Slang. It also gained notoriety as the stomping ground of Jack the Ripper. Historically representing the grittier side of the capital, the area has transformed into one of London’s coolest and most diverse neighborhoods. Today, visitors can explore its vibrant street art, a stark contrast to its past, and experience a dynamic blend of cultures and communities.
