High Streets

High Streets play a vital role in Tower Hamlets, providing essential goods and services, offering jobs for local people and acting as hubs for our communities.

The High Streets Team makes improvements to the borough’s retail centres via the delivery of capital and revenue projects and partnership working with business, resident and community organisations and other council teams.

  • Bethnal Green
  • Brick Lane
  • Chrisp Street
  • Middlesex Street
  • Roman Road East
  • Roman Road West
