Tower Hamlets lies east of central London on the Thames's north bank, encompassing the historic East End and the regenerated Docklands, anchored by Canary Wharf. The Tower of London, Tower Bridge, and Sky Garden stand among its catalogued landmarks. The borough holds medieval fortifications, markets, and parks alongside its role as a global financial hub, though its primary draw remains its historical monuments and cultural significance.
