Cable Street is a road in the East End of London, England, with several historic landmarks nearby.
It was made famous by the Battle of Cable Street in 1936.
Cable Street runs between the edge of London's financial district the City of London, and Limehouse, parallel to, and south of, the Docklands Light Railway and Commercial Road, and north of The Highway.
The area is close to Wapping and Shadwell Basin to the south, Tower Hill to the west, and Whitechapel and Stepney to the north. Since many Londoners define their locality by the nearest London Underground stations, the Cable Street area is often referred to as Shadwell.
The street is in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, in postal district E1. It lies within the parliamentary constituencies of Bethnal Green and Bow and Poplar and Canning Town, currently represented by Rushanara Ali and Jim Fitzpatrick, both of the Labour party.
