Mile End Road, Limehouse, Poplar, and Stepney in the east of London were bustling areas in 1888, with a diverse mix of people, including the working class, immigrants, and the impoverished. The Mile End Old Town Workhouse, Whitechapel Union Workhouse, and City Union Workhouse were all located in this area, providing relief for the destitute.

Victoria Park Cemetery and Tower Hamlets City of London Cemetery were notable burial grounds in the area, while the Grove Hall Lunatic Asylum provided care for the mentally ill.

The Tredegar Iron Works, located in Bow, was a major employer in the area and a hub of industrial activity. Nearby stations, including Coborn Road Station, Bow Station, and Bow Road Station, provided transportation for workers and residents.

The West India Dock Road, East India Dock Road, and Regent's Canal Dock were all important waterways for trade and commerce, with the northwest part of West India Dock serving as a major port. The Limehouse, Poplar, and Eastern Commercial Road East areas were known for their proximity to the docks and maritime industries.

The Limehouse Workhouse and Poplar Workhouse provided support for those in need, while Stepney Station, Burdett Road Station, Limehouse Station, East India Docks Station, and South Bromley Station offered convenient transportation options for locals and visitors alike. Unfortunately, the area was also the hunting ground of Jack the Ripper, who terrorized the streets of Whitechapel in 1888, making it a notorious part of London's history.
