The East End is a region of inner [[Locale East London | East London]], bounded by the [[Locale City of London | City]] at the west, the [[River Thames]] at the south, the [[River Lea]] at the east and [[Hertford Union Canal]] and [[Regents Canal]] at the north. It thus comprises [[Locale Bethnal Green | Bethnal Green]], [[Locale Whitechapel | Whitechapel]], [[Locale Stepney | Stepney]], [[Locale Mile End | Mile End]], [[Locale Wapping | Wapping]], [[Locale Shadwell | Shadwell]], [[Locale Limehouse | Limehouse]], the [[Locale Isle of Dogs | Isle of Dogs]], [[Locale Poplar | Poplar]] and [[Locale Bow | Bow]]; it includes the [[Locale Docklands | Docklands]] geographically, if not spiritually. It does not include [[Locale Hackney | Hackney]].

The East End is famed for its markets, which arose here due to its proximity to the Thames and the City. Indeed, one could argue that the City is really spiritually part of the East End - the City's traders may deal in part-ownership of companies, imaginary piles of zinc, and incomprehensible derivatives instead of meat and vegetables, but they're still a bunch of chancers.

The East End is the natural home of the [[Cockney]].
