tube station, closed
St Mary's (Whitechapel Road) was a station on London Underground's District line located between the present-day stations at Whitechapel and Aldgate East.
Opened on 3 March 1884 as St Mary's, the station was initially used by both District Line and East London line trains. The station was always very small and cramped and was located very close to both Whitechapel and Aldgate East stations, on a tight curve just before the junction to the East London line.
In 1938, Aldgate East was moved further eastwards and given a new entrance only a few hundred yards from St Mary's (Whitechapel Road), immediately rendering that station surplus to requirements. It closed on 30 April 1938.
