Sivill House

Columbia Market was a market hall and philanthropic venture funded by Baroness Angela Burdett-Coutts that was located on Columbia Road in Bethnal Green, London, England. The market and square were so named to reference Burdett Coutts' involvement in the establishment of the Diocese of British Columbia. The market's construction was completed and opened in 1869, but after little initial success was closed in 1889 with the building being demolished around 1960. The only surviving remnants are a set of exterior gates and railings. The market accompanied, at the recommendation of Charles Dickens, a number of dwellings which would make up the adjacent Columbia Square development. The site occupied by Columbia Market now houses Sivill House and the Dorset Estate, with a street in the latter being named "Old Market Square. The extant and successive Columbia Road Flower Market operates nearby.

The Dorset Estate is a post-war Modernist housing estate in Bethnal Green, London.

The George and Dragon was a pub at 2-4 Hackney Road, Shoreditch, East London. In August 2015, the pub's closure was announced, due to a "dramatic" rent increase, and a campaign was launched for it to become an Asset of Community Value.It was a well-known gay venue, and featured live arts projects in conjunction with the Institute of Contemporary Arts, and was known for "total fun and mindless hedonism".

The Joiners Arms was an LGBT pub and nightclub on Hackney Road in East London.The original pub, which closed in 2015, had been central to the East London gay scene since it was opened in 1997 by David Alexander Pollard. It had been described as "Britain's trendiest gay dive" with gay public figures including Alexander McQueen, Christopher Kane and Patrick Wolf known to have frequented the venue, and with events hosted by gay entertainers Scottee and Jodie Harsh. The venue had been open to a range of gay subcultures such as the bear scene and drag queens. Due to its late night opening and free entry, the Joiners Arms had a reputation for being a "last chance saloon" and sometimes having a rough crowd, but this has also been described as part of its appeal.Plans were announced in 2014 to demolish the venue and replace it with a block of flats, but supporters of the venue successfully campaigned to have it recognised as an Asset of Community Value. Tower Hamlets Council only allowed the construction to proceed if the development included a pub that would "remain a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender-focused venue for a minimum of 12 years". This was believed to be the first time that the sexual orientation of a venue's customers had been included as a condition of planning approval.

On Thursday, 21 July 2005, four attempted bomb attacks by Islamist extremists disrupted part of London's public transport system as a follow up attack from the 7 July 2005 London bombings that occurred two weeks earlier. The explosions occurred around midday at Shepherd's Bush, Warren Street and Oval stations on the London Underground, and on London Buses route 26 in Bethnal Green on Hackney Road. A fifth bomber dumped his device without attempting to set it off.Connecting lines and stations were closed and evacuated. Metropolitan Police later said the intention was to cause large-scale loss of life, but only the detonators of the bombs exploded, probably causing the popping sounds reported by witnesses, and only one minor injury was reported. The suspects fled the scenes after their bombs failed to explode. On Friday, 22 July 2005, CCTV images of four suspects wanted in connection with the bombings were released. Two of the men shown in these images were identified by police on Monday, 25 July 2005 as Muktar Saáid Ibrahim and Yasin Hassan Omar. The resultant manhunt was described by the Metropolitan police commissioner Sir Ian Blair as "the greatest operational challenge ever faced" by the Met. During the manhunt, police misidentified Jean Charles de Menezes as one of the suspected bombers and shot and killed him.By 29 July 2005, police had arrested all four of the main bombing suspects from the 21 July attempted bombings. Yasin Hassan Omar was arrested by police on 27 July, in Birmingham. On 29 July, two more suspects were arrested in London. A fourth suspect, Osman Hussein, was arrested in Rome, Italy, and later extradited to the UK. Police also arrested numerous other people in the course of their investigations. On 9 July 2007, four defendants, Muktar Saáid Ibrahim, 29, Yasin Hassan Omar, 26, Ramzi Mohammed, 25, and Hussain Osman, 28, were found guilty of conspiracy to murder. The four attempted bombers were each sentenced to life imprisonment, with a minimum of 40 years' imprisonment.
