London’s East End has been known throughout history for its crime, poverty, and deprivation, but also for reform, social movements, and legends. It is located east of the medieval walled city of London, north of the River Thames, and bordered by the River Lea. It includes the boroughs of Whitechapel, Stepney, Spitalfields, Poplar, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, and more. The transcripts in this collection have been created by the Docklands Ancestors, who began transcribing parish registers in 2001.

Below we have provided a list of all the parishes found in these records and the year ranges available. The year range is not exclusive, but there may be some gaps within the range.
