Whitechapel is an interesting an varied area that is best known as the area where Jack the Ripper had his reign of terror, with daily organised tours of the streets he made famous.
Whitechapel has benefited from the city overspill and has seen a lot of investment and development although not as much as neighbouring Spitalfields. Whitechapel Market and the A11 corridor is currently receiving £20 million worth of investment which should see Whitechapel improve as an area.
With it's city fringe location and currently lower prices, Whitechapel is definitely the place to invest. The opening of the East London Line extension has increased the transport links for the area and thus the potential and the popularity.
