The Hale Street Mural is a mural painted on the wall of the Tower Hamlets Parks Department on Hale Street (Hartland). The mural is in honor of the 1921 Poplar Rates Rebellion, which was an uprising against the unfair taxing of Poplar in comparison to more upper class communities like those in West London. In other words, Poplar would have had to pay more than more upper class communities because it would have raised the rates on the rent of property - money that residents of Poplar didn't have (Alchetron).
