Spitalfields is a district in the East End of London. It is known for its artists, markets, and large Bangladeshi community. In the Victorian era, it became the place for silk markets and other merchants. In the late 1800s it became one of the more dangerous areas of London and was where Jack the Ripper killed one of his victims. More recently, it has become a marketplace again and is known as the curry capital of London. 

It is named in East London by Matthew Arnold.

Piccadilly is a road in London in the city of Westminster. This street is a very popular tourist attraction and has been for many years because it is around a mile long and filled with many historical buildings.

Marble Arch is a triumphal arch originally on the grounds of Buckingham Palace. Designed by John Nash, who was also responsible for Regent's Park, Regent Street, Carlton House Terrace, and much of Buckingham Palace. The Marble Arch's purpose was to greet all guests to the palace grounds in a loud and extravagant way as a testament to the greatness of the British Empire in the wake of hard-fought victories in the Napoleonic Wars. The arch is notably smaller than originally planned by Nash, as its primary patron, King George IV, died before Nash was fired for overspending.

The Thames is a famous river that runs through 210 miles across the English countryside, through the heart of London, and into the North Sea. This river is very widely known and often mentioned in various English literary works throughout history. Of the texts we've read, one of the times it is most explicitly mentioned is in William Blake's pessimistic poem, aptly named "London." Blake writes:

Buckingham Palace is the royal household and residence of the United Kingdom Monarchs, it is located in the City of Westminster. The house was built in 1705 by John Sheffield, Duke of Buckingham, and bought by George III in 1762. It became the offical residence of the UK sovereigns in 1837, and through generations of addtions and renovations it currently has 775 rooms and extensive gardens.

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.

“‘Twas August, and the fierce sun overhead 

Smote on the squalid streets of Bethnal Green, 

And the pale weaver, through his windows seen 

In Spitalfields, look’d thrice dispirited.” (Lines 1-4)
