About East End

The East End of London, often referred to within the London area simply as the East End, is the historic core of wider East London, east of the Roman and medieval walls of the City of London and north of the River Thames. It does not have universally accepted boundaries on its northern and eastern sides, though the River Lea is sometimes seen as the easternmost boundary. Parts of it may be regarded as lying within Central London. The term "East of Aldgate Pump" is sometimes used as a synonym for the area.

They believed that there was a race of wild hogs that was down there that might get them. Toshing was a full-time career for some people, particularly in the East End. The best thing that you could do is have some kind of accommodation where you had a manhole cover in your garden.
