The East End is an iconic area of London, from the transient street
art of Banksy and Pablo Delgado to the exhibitions of Doreen
Fletcher and Gilbert and George. Located east of the Tower of
London and north of the River Thames, the region has experienced a
number of developmental stages in its four-hundred-year history.
Originating as a series of scattered villages, the area has been
home to Europe's worst slums and served as an affluent nodal point
of the British Empire. Through its evolution, the East End has been
the birthplace of radical political and social movements and the
social center for a variety of diasporic communities. This
reference work, with its alphabetically organized cross-referenced
entries and its original and historical photography, serves as a
comprehensive guide to the social and cultural history of this
global hub.
