What can I do here?
Teach your kids the history of the East End...
The Museum of London Docklands is close by. It’s popular with families. Perhaps because of the activity packets – including one for children under 5.
The Museum also has interactive exhibitions. A perfect spot for fun – and learning.
Buy tasty, fresh food in a historic setting...
Chrisp Street Market was the first pedestrian shopping area built in the UK. It opened in 1951.
The stalls sell fresh fruit and veg produce. The food carts sell traditional British dishes like fish ‘n’ chips, as well as exciting and tasty dishes from all around the world.
Get involved. Take part in the communal spirit...
New building plans are set to change the area around the market. A local initiative called ‘Save Chrisp Street Market’ has been started. You are welcome to join.
Travel quickly and easily to work (or to somewhere fun...)
Poplar is a residential area, but you only about 30 minutes from central London by DLR (Docklands Light Railway).
Poplar is close to areas like Canary Wharf, Stratford, Bethnal Green, and Shoreditch.
Your move.
