For a while in the Sixties, it was like the entire action drama output of British TV was coming out of Whitechapel. Lew Grade was heading up ITC - the programme-making side of ITV franchisee ATV, with a string of hits including The Adventures of Robin Hood, The Saint, Danger Man, The Baron, The Champions, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[



The reopening of the Whitechapel Gallery earlier this month, impressively expanded into the space vacated by the Whitechapel Library, is a bold leap into the future for a gallery that has always been proud of its &#8216;firsts&#8217; and always punched above its weight. 
There was much controversy about the library collection&#8217;s move out into the [...]]]></description>

On 20 May 1900, William Sutton died, leaving a generous bequest to the poor of London. A huge sum, the equivalent of £80m today would found the Sutton Model Dwellings Trust and build a string of estates for the poor, beginning in Bethnal Green, then Chelsea, Islington, Rotherhithe, Plymouth and Birmingham.
If generous, the bequest wasn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

It wasn&#8217;t the ideal time to be moving into a new flat with your first child, but when is? Bombs were falling on Bethnal Green as a young Julia Richards and husband David moved into their new home on the William Sutton Estate on Roman Road. The new flat wasn&#8217;t a palace but it was [...]]]></description>

Benjamin Baruch Ambrose entered the world on 15 September 1896, the son of an East End Jewish wool merchant. His parents, like many thousands of Jews before them, had fled to London from the persecution and pogroms of Eastern Europe. And like many thousands of others, they believed in the twin pillars of hard work [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s nothing new about panoramas of the River Thames. In pen and pencil, oil, etching and engraving and latterly on film (and its digital successor), men and women have been picturing the continuous development of London&#8217;s riverscape. 
To a list including James McNeill Whistler, Claude Monet, JMW Turner and Canaletto, add the names of Mike [...]]]></description>

We seem to be awash in anniversaries at the moment. But Charles Darwin and Robbie Burns can step aside for a true hero of the East End this month. George Lansbury was born on 21 February 1859. He lived to see World War II, having fought alongside striking dockers, founded a national newspaper, gone to [...]]]></description>

The themes, language and characters of &#8216;Fings Ain&#8217;t Wot They Used T&#8217;Be&#8217; were a disturbing blast of the new for London&#8217;s theatreland when the play moved up west from Stratford. So it comes as a shock to realise that the irreverent musical is 50 years old this month.
So much about the play was novel. This [...]]]></description>

So what do &#8216;canaries&#8217; and &#8216;herons&#8217; have to do with the docks? What exactly was the &#8216;poplar&#8217; or the &#8216;mudchute&#8217;. The London Underground and DLR have some pretty curious station names, and in the East End we have some of the more bizarre.
Aldgate Station was opened on 18 November 1876, and is named after one [...]]]></description>

Many cities are defined by their soaring towers - Manhattan, Shanghai, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur and the rest compete to outdo the next town with the latest shimmering shard of glass and steel. London&#8217;s different - our Gherkins and Canary Wharfs barely scratch the ankles of the world&#8217;s tallest buildings. Maybe that&#8217;s because a 2000-year-old city [...]]]></description>
