The East End
The East End of London is changing now from a
(1) deprived slum to trendy hangout. At the end of the 19th century immigrants moved in large numbers to the city of London and the East End was where they usually (2) ended up. The area was overcrowded and for many Eastenders poverty and hunger were facts of everyday life. In 1888 the East End became (3) notorious due to the brutal (4) murders by the infamous killer Jack the Ripper. Charles Dickens was one of the writers who brought the conditions in the East End to the attention of the society. Slums were (5) cleared and in that poor area of London soup kitchens were set up. Soup kitchens are places where (6) free food is given to poor and homeless people. But poverty and overcrowding still continued and one of the East End Streets — Dorset Street — was described as “the Worst Street in London” due to the high level of crime and poverty there. In the early 1990s young artists were (7) attracted to the East End with its (8) cheap housing and large industrial spaces, perfect for studios. Hoxton Square has become the focus of the growing East End art scene since 2001 when White Cube gallery opened there. Now Hoxton Square is the centre of trendy nightlife, as well as the art scene.
