Stepney is an area located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets within the East End of London, United Kingdom. While it is no longer officially defined as a distinct administrative entity, the name is typically used to refer to a relatively small geographical area in the region.
Historically, the place name Stepney was applied to a much larger manor and parish. This historical extent covered most of the inner East End of London. Today, it remains primarily recognized as a neighborhood within the broader Tower Hamlets district.
