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.
