 Cubitt Town - Wikipedia Light!
It is named after William Cubitt, Lord Mayor of London 1860-1861, who was responsible for the development of the housing and amenities of the area in the 1840s and 1850s, mainly to house the growing population of workers in the local docks, shipbuilding yards and factories.
Cubitt also created many local businesses employing manual labourers as well as the streets of housing to accomodate them.
The area is a curious mix of old East London working-class communities transplanted into '60s and '70s high-rise estates and the middle-class (in lifestyle if not in cultural or professional senses) workers in the Canary Wharf complex attracted by relatively low prices for riverside living, plus less recent Bangladeshi and East Asian immigrant populations.
