Bethnal Green is an area in the East End of London 3 miles (4.8 km) northeast of Charing Cross. It has two Overground stations (one being named Cambridge Heath) and one Underground station. Part of the area holds conservation area status, chiefly due to protected small, public greens and listed buildings. The area emerged from the hamlet which developed around the Green, much of which survives today as Bethnal Green Gardens, beside Cambridge Heath Road. Bethnal Green has stations on the London Underground and London Overground.
