Mile End is an area of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in East London. Mile End is 3.6 miles (5.8 km) east north-east of Charing Cross.
It takes its name from a milestone signifying the point one mile east of the boundary of the City of London. Although historically the stone's position was near Stepney Green tube station, in the modern era Mile End is used to describe the area about half a mile east of this point, around Mile End tube station.
Mile End is in a part of London known as the East End and home to the main campus of Queen Mary, University of London.
It also boasts an unusual landmark, the "Green Bridge". This new structure (completed in about 2000) allows Mile End Park to cross over the road and makes an interesting contrast with the more usual approach of building bridges for cars. It contains garden and water features and some shop and restaurant space built in below.
