London area of E1 guide

What to do and where to stay in London's E1 neighbourhood

Shadwell and Stepney form the heart of E1 - inner-city districts whose streets, an historical mix of Victorian, post-war and former slum housing with few hotels, give a glimpse of a bygone London. Walk around Stepney's untouched squares to immerse yourself in East End life. Shadwell Basin, the only surviving body of water from the London Docks, is now home to an impressive activity centre offering water sports and outdoor pursuits in the middle of a lovely waterside development. In its maritime days, the local parish church of St Paul's, traditionally the Church of Sea Captains, had many seafaring folk among its members including the eminent Captain James Cook. The present church on the site was built in 1820.
