Just a single part question today, but a bonus point for working out why the location was chosen with today in mind.  *Click for larger version* |

Wimbledon--it is the start of the world-renowned tennis tournament today. It can't be Wimbledon. I think it's somewhere in East London. |

Stepney Green it is, but the reason hasn't been worked out..... Why was this location chosen?  *Click for larger version* |

Well that'll teach me to be clever! I was sure you'd blanked Tower 42 (the former Nat West tower) which is why I plumped for Aldgate East which would be on the correct alignment whereas Stepney green would not. Trouble is I haven't driven or worked near or by there for about 12 years and I really couldn't recall the views west from either site!

I'm still intrigued to know the reason why Stepney Green was chosen for 23rd...
