Tower Hamlets
The London Borough of Tower Hamlets is a London borough to the east of the City of London and north of the River Thames. Covering a total area of about 7.63 square miles, it's in the eastern part of London and covers a lot of the conventional East End. The London Borough of Hackney lies to the north of the borough whilst the River Lea forms the boundary with the London Borough of Newham in the east. On the other side of the Thames is the London Borough of Southwark to the southwest, The London Borough of Lewisham to the South, and the Royal Borough of Greenwich towards the southeast. The River Lea also forms the boundary between those parts of London historically in Middlesex, with those formerly in Essex.
According to population estimates produced during 2014, the borough has a permanent population of about 284015 people. Lots of the tallest buildings in London occupy the centre of the Isle of Dogs in the south of the borough.
The borough is also reasonably well-known for being home to the Women's Library in Aldgate, which is Great Britain's main library and museum resource on women and the women's movement, particularly concentrating on Britain in the 19th and 20th centuries. Also, a part of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is in Tower Hamlets.
