Whitechapel

Whitechapel is a district within East London, England, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It is located east of Charing Cross and roughly bounded by the Bishopsgate thoroughfare on the west, Fashion Street on the north, Brady Street and Cavell Street on the east and The Highway on the south. It has been for a long time a poor and working-class neighborhood perhaps best known for being the location of the infamous Jack the Ripper murders in the late 1880s. The murderer was never identified, although rumours suggest over 100 names. Today, its residents are of varied ethnic origin, primarily Bangladeshi origin.
