Footnotes[[edit] | [edit source]]

  1. Tower Hamlets, with boundaries drawn here in purple, match up with the boundary of Tower Hamlets on Mr Smith's map. (TV: The Bounty Hunter)
    The map of London boroughs in Revenge of the Slitheen shows a bend in the River Thames between Southwark and Tower Hamlets. The same bend appears in the map from The Bounty Hunter, along with the borough borders - marked with a purple line - which are roughly identical. Haggeerston is located just beyond the north-west border of Tower Hamlets. This definitively places Haggerston in the London Borough of Hackney.
