Shadwell is a down-to-earth East End district home to Indian and global eateries, local shops, small mosques, and historic churches, including the striking 18th-century St. George In The East. The Cable Street Mural recalls the 1936 “Battle of Cable Street,” when local residents and others halted a Fascist march. Shadwell Basin is a former dock now used for kayaking and sailing, surrounded by modern housing.
