Welcome to St George in the East

St George in the East is a district located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It is situated in the eastern part of London and is known for its rich history and cultural diversity. The area is named after the church of St George in the East, which was built in the 18th century and is one of the most prominent landmarks in the district.

The district has a long and fascinating history, dating back to the Roman times. It was once a thriving port area and was home to many sailors and dockworkers. In the 19th century, the area became known for its poverty and overcrowding, and it was one of the worst slums in London. However, in recent years, the district has undergone significant regeneration, and it is now a vibrant and diverse community with a rich cultural heritage.

Today, St George in the East is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. The area is home to many historic buildings, including the church of St George in the East, which is a Grade I listed building. The district is also known for its lively markets, including the famous Columbia Road Flower Market, which attracts thousands of visitors every Sunday. With its rich history, cultural diversity, and vibrant community, St George in the East is a fascinating and unique part of London.
