Adler Street is a street in the Whitechapel district of London. This area has a history of being a congregation place for Jewish London residents in the early 20th century, and later, Bengladeshi migrants. Adler Street runs along Altab Ali Park (formerly St. Mary's Park), a memorial park for Bengali victims of hate crimes—such as its namesake, Altab Ali.
In "Brick Lane," Nazneen—herself a Bengali immigrant—moves up Adler Street and by Altab Ali Park.
"Out of the estate and onto Commercial Road, past the clothes wholesaler’s, up Adler Street, and left onto the brief green respite of Altab Ali Park, where the neat, pale-faced block of flats had picture windows and a gated entrance, from which the City boys could stroll to work." (chapter 21)
