Whitechapel is a district in the East End of London.
== History ==
It was originally part of the ancient Manor and Parish of Stepney until overpopulation led to it becoming an independent parish around 1338. It had administratively existed as Whitechapel District between 1855 to 1900 as a local government district (consisting of nine civil parishes) before the administration was abolished and become part of the Metropolitan Borough of Stepney. In 1965 the Metropolitan Borough of Stepney merged with the Metropolitan Borough of Bethnal Green and the Metropolitan Borough of Poplar to form the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitechapel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitechapel_District_(Metropolis)
=== Season 1 ===

Watson recalls that he had discussed this with Druitt at the Reform Club, asking for his opinion about this change in the serial killer's calling card (unaware that Druitt was the killer).
=== Season 2 ===
	:When Helen Magnus realizes that John Druitt was killing more than just Cabal remnants, she says "This is Whitechapel all over again"; referencing Druitt's past history in the late 1800s as the notorious Jack the Ripper serial killer.
