Whitechapel
East London area
Whitechapel is a district in East London, historically associated with poverty and the Jack the Ripper murders of 1888.
The name evokes Victorian-era slums, crime, and urban squalor: The novel's setting had a Whitechapel grimness to it.
In billiards, a whitechapel is a shot where the cue ball goes into a pocket after striking another ball—considered poor form.
