Whitechapel, District in East London, Great Britain
The district centers around Whitechapel High Street and Whitechapel Road, forming part of the original Roman path connecting Aldgate to Colchester.
During the late 19th century, Whitechapel gained attention through a series of unsolved murders attributed to an unidentified criminal known as Jack the Ripper.
The East London Mosque stands as a central religious institution in Whitechapel, serving the British Bangladeshi community that settled in the district.
The area contains numerous restaurants, shops, markets, and transportation links, including multiple tube lines connecting to central London and Canary Wharf.
The Hoop and Grapes pub contains a historical listening tube in its structure, which people used for monitoring conversations in previous centuries.
