Weavers is an electoral ward in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, sitting in the historic East End of London. Its name recalls the area's long textile and weaving heritage - especially the silk weavers of nearby Spitalfields - and the waves of immigrant communities who settled here from the 18th century onwards.
Today the ward is a densely populated, culturally diverse neighbourhood with a mix of Victorian terraces, council estates and newer developments. It lies close to lively streets and markets such as Brick Lane and Whitechapel, and is marked by both active regeneration and ongoing social and economic challenges, which together give the area a strong sense of community and contrast.
