Combining the whole postcode region, 38% of people in E1W are classed as having an AB social grade, (i.e. 'white-collar' middle-upper class), compared to 27% across the UK.

This does not mean that the people of E1W are wealthier - or higher class - than average, but it can be an indication that the area may be prospering and desirable to live in.


The E1W postcode covers a small area located primarily in East London, England, with parts of it extending into South West London. It is located around Cable Street and the Tower of London.

E1W is a popular residential area for those who want to be close to the city centre and its activities. It is located very near the major commercial and business areas of the city, including the Bank of England and the City of London. It is also near the trendy Shoreditch and Brick Lane areas, known for their nightlife and restaurants. It is also located close to the River Thames.

The streets within the E1W postcode area are residential and generally attractive, with many traditional Victorian terraced houses in popular squares, some of which have been gentrified by young professionals. Among its attractions are Bishop's Square, a small oasis of green in the City of London, and Waldorf Way— an elegant gated development of nineteenth-century townhouses in the heart of London.

The area is serviced by a number of excellent transportation links, including the DLR (Docklands Light Railway), which provides direct connections to Canary Wharf and Bank. London Bridge and Fenchurch Street mainline stations are both within easy reach of the postcode. There are also several London bus routes that run through the area.

The E1W postcode falls under the City of London postcode area, which borders Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Islington, and Westminster. It offers favourable tax rates, and many businesses choose to locate in the area due to its proximity to the financial district.

Part of the E1W postcode area is also referred to as the East India Docklands. Here, young professionals are enjoying the area thanks to its abundance of trendy bars, cafes, and restaurants. The area is also home to the East London Technology Park at Old Gamely Street, a £51 million development that aims to provide cutting-edge workspaces for small to medium sized enterprises.
