Glengall Grove
Glengall Grove is a street on the Isle of Dogs, in London's East End. The street was once part of Glengall Road which stretched across most of the Isle of Dogs. History Glengall Street appears on Joseph Cross's New Plan of London for 1861, but not on his previous plan of 1850. The name comes from the Richard Butler, 2nd Earl of Glengall who had married Margaret Lauretta Mellish, the daughter of William Mellish, in 1834. Margaret and her sister inherited a large amount of land on the Isle of Dogs, known as the Mellish Estate. After becoming the Countess of Glengall, the trustees of the Mellish inheritance successfully challenged the Earl of Glengall, who was declared bankrupt before dying in 1858. It was thus during this period that Glengall Street and the nearby Mellish Street were named. Millwall football club, then known as Millwall Rovers' first ever fixture was held on Glengall Road, on 24 October 1885 against a team called St Luke's. Legacy Glengall Bridge Glenga ...

Isle Of Dogs
The Isle of Dogs is a large peninsula bounded on three sides by a large meander in the River Thames in East London, England, which includes the Cubitt Town, Millwall and Canary Wharf districts. The area was historically part of the Manor, Hamlet, Parish and, for a time, the wider borough of Poplar. The name had no official status until the 1987 creation of the Isle of Dogs Neighbourhood by Tower Hamlets London Borough Council. It has been known locally as simply "the Island" since the 19th century. The whole area was once known as Stepney Marsh; Anton van den Wyngaerde's "Panorama of London" dated 1543 depicts and refers to the Isle of Dogs. Records show that ships preparing to carry the English royal household to Calais in 1520 docked at the southern bank of the island. The name ''Isle of Dogges'' occurs in the ''Thamesis Descriptio'' of 1588, applied to a small island in the south-western part of the peninsula. The name is next applied to the ''Isle of Dogs Farm'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

East End
The East End of London, often referred to within the London area simply as the East End, is the historic core of wider East London, east of the Roman and medieval walls of the City of London and north of the River Thames. It does not have universally accepted boundaries to the north and east, though the River Lea is sometimes seen as the eastern boundary. Parts of it may be regarded as lying within Central London (though that term too has no precise definition). The term "East of Aldgate Pump" is sometimes used as a synonym for the area. The East End began to emerge in the Middle Ages with initially slow urban growth outside the eastern walls, which later accelerated, especially in the 19th century, to absorb pre-existing settlements. The first known written record of the East End as a distinct entity, as opposed to its component parts, comes from John Strype's 1720 ''Survey of London'', which describes London as consisting of four parts: the City of London, Westminster, ...
