Hey all,
Don't know why I hadn't thought of this before but I just walked Whitechapel via google satellite maps. Remarkable. Since I've never been to London it was quite cool. I must say some of the canonical sites give you the feel more than others. Mitre Square and former Bucks row perhaps the best.
I feel like I've all but hoisted a pint in the Ten Bells! For the few that haven't walked these streets I highly recommend it. One can definitely get a feel for the distances involved and for the width of some of the thoroughfares.
I haven't yet found Dorset(Duval) Street, Swallow Gardens or George Yard Buildings. If someone could clue me in what some of these sites may currently be called and/or how to find them I'd be most grateful. I did see Pinchin Street. Any other relevant or interesting sites would also be great. I must say it's a good thing they don't tear down the Churches........these remain the cornerstones of our geography and connection to the past.......
