Northeastern London, in the United Kingdom, is known as East London. East London evolved as London's docklands and the city's main industrial hub. It is situated east of the historic City of London and north of the River Thames as it starts to spread. The East End of London was pushed to move east by the development of the railways, and numerous new suburbs sprang up as a result. Today, redevelopment is taking place in the former industrial areas of East London, with certain areas—like Canary Wharf—being well along in the process.
