No drinking allowed in Whitechapel either, it's a Muslim area
If an area is 40% Muslim then some people would regard that as relevant.op asked a simple question about a location and it looks like this thread is going towards religion
You have some very good restaurants within a couple of minutes walk (Tayyabs, Hawksmoor, Damascu Bite, etc.). You have some very decent pubs around too (the 700 year old George Tavern, The Oliver Conquest, Indo, etc.). The Whitechapel Gallery, Borough is a 10 minute walk away, as is the City, Old Street and plenty of the parks.
Having lived all over London, I'd say this is by far my favourite place to live.
Also, I'd say it is up and coming. The value of our place has gone through the roof since we bought it a few years back, and the people that live in our neighbouring flats are all lawyers, doctors, marketing directors, accountants and media types.

Was in white chapel / algate east all week. Its convenient but certainly not a nice area. The side roads are surprisingly more shady than you would think, so exercise due caution at night.
The thought of you in the Nags Head amuses me.
There are worse parts of London. But Tower Hamlets is one of the poorest boroughs of London.

Lol @ all the negative responses about the area I don't think KD will be moving to Aldgate East/Whitechapel anymore
I should probably clarify as well, most people are focussing more on the 'whitechapel' part of this. My understanding is the flat in question is right by Queen Mary, and quite university populated.
Spend quite a big of time there, a little rough but never felt unsafe personally. A great bring-your-own-booze curry/kebab restaurant nearby.

Some people would also like to know if Whitechapel is largely homophobic as well

If you are looking for an 'up and coming area' or a part of London's Cockney history, then all that is dead and buried now. It's just another smelly multicultural dump.
What utter nonsense!
I hear it has improved hugelyWhitechapel isn't the most scenic of places in London but it's lively.
The area around Victoria Park is very nice (and probably out of your budget ).

Not really, I know where I got the pictures from (hence the smiley), but tarting up derelict buildings to preserve what remains of the local English history is largely pointless when the majority of the local population don't understand or care about it. If the council had bothered to ask them then I'm sure they would have preferred another mosque (given that they have to pray on the streets at the moment)Somewhat ironically, a number of the buildings in the photos you've just posted have gone under extensive face lifts, particularly around the market place and station.

This thread was always going to be people who have either never been to Whitechapel or visited the place a few times decrying it as a hell hole, whilst the people who live(d) hear say it's a decent place.
