Welcome to Stepney. This is your guide to the Stepney area.

Dist:0.2km north<br/>This building is clearly a former public house - the name of the brewer (Truman's) is still engraved on the wall. But now it is an outlet for 'Perfect Fried Chicken'. We'll let you know...

Dist:0.3km north<br/>This memorial clock, which stands near the bottom of Stepney Green, is dedicated to the memory of one Stanley Atkinson, who was a barrister and much-valued Councillor and later, Alderman of the borough, but who died in 1910 at the early age of 37.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>The building on the right is Stepney Green Court, formerly Stepney Dwellings. It was built in 1896 by the 4% Industrial Dwellings Company. This Jewish company, chaired by Nathaniel, Lord Rothschild, built good quality, but low rent, accommodation for the working poor of the East End. The Rothschilds raised the money for the construction from wealthy Jewish businessmen on the understanding that the profits for the shareholders would be limited to 4%. The cobbled street is defaced with the usual over-zealous yellow lining.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>Founded in 1719 by local brewer Henry Raine, the school has, over the years, occupied four different buildings in the East End. This was its third and in the 1980s it relocated to Bethnal Green.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>Strangely, although it clearly is a church, this building calls itself a 'meeting house'. Perhaps they thought that the word 'church' might put people off.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>As in many parts of London, the splendid plane trees along Stepney Green have now reached a very large size.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>This archway stands on the south side of Stepney Green near the bottom. Perhaps it was the entrance to the Red Coat School, which stood near to here.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>According to old maps, there has been a public house on this corner since Victorian times, although this looks like a relatively modern building.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>This fine block of flats was built in 1894. This was a time when Londoners were not used to living in flats at all, but the high standard of accommodation has ensured they have passed the test of time, (as well as surviving Hitler's war).

Dist:0.4km north<br/>This is one of those small green spaces that help to make London one of the most attractive cities in the world. There are some good-sized planes and an acacia.
