The Facts
Perhaps more than any other borough in London, Tower Hamlets best represents the capital with its untrammeled riches and stark poverty. Despite hosting the city’s financial district, it has the highest level of child and pensioner poverty in the country, as well as the greatest level of income inequality in the UK.
