Poplar, Residential district in East End of London, United Kingdom.
Poplar features a combination of 18th-century terraced houses, 20th-century council estates, and modern residential developments across its five-square-mile area.
The district evolved from a rural hamlet to an industrial center after the East India Company established dockyards and warehouses in the early 1800s.
The Museum of London Docklands, housed in a nineteenth-century warehouse, displays exhibits highlighting the maritime and trade history of the region.
The area connects to central London through multiple Docklands Light Railway stations and bus routes, with Canary Wharf station providing additional transport options.
Chrisp Street Market, established in 1951 as part of the Festival of Britain, remains a central commercial hub for local residents.
