  Whitechapel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Whitechapel is a neighbourhood in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in England, roughly bounded by the Bishopsgate thoroughfare on the west, Hanbury Street on the north, Brady Street/Cavell Street on the east and Commercial Road on the south.
Its heart is Whitechapel Road itself, named for a small chapel of ease dedicated to St. Mary: its earliest known rector was Hugh de Fulbourne in 1329.
Whitechapel Rd. itself was not particularly squalid through most of this period—it was the warren of small dark streets branching from it that contained the greatest suffering, filth and danger, especially Dorset St. (now a private alley), Thrawl St., Berners St. (renamed Henriques St.), Wentworth St. and others.
