Poplar is a mainly residential district of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, East London, about 5.5 miles (8.9 km) east of Charing Cross. Poplar includes the sub-district of Blackwall and also, historically at least, the Isle of Dogs, as well as the historic council estate known as the Lansbury Estate.
The area takes its name from the Black Poplar tree, a large and very rare species that once thrived in the wet conditions which the Thames and Lea formerly brought to much of the neighbourhood.
Originally part of the parish of Stepney, Middlesex, Poplar became a civil parish in 1817. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poplar,_London
