Whitechapel Road

Located in the East End of London, Whitechapel Road is home to a vibrant and somewhat chaotic street market. Buildings along the road date back to 1670, and the areas past residents include Joseph Stalin and George Orwell.

Whitechapel Road today is heavily populated with Middle Eastern, Asian and African residents, so you’ll find market stalls selling food, fabric and jewelry from countries like India, Turkey, Bangladesh, Nigeria and more. The area is poor, but lively and worth a visit if you’re looking to see how cultures collide in London.

It’s also interesting to note that in the British version of Monopoly, Whitechapel Road is the cheapest property location in London.
