East of Aldgate station, the A11 enters the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and the East End of London. It becomes Whitechapel High Street (containing Aldgate East tube station).

Newham

The A11 now briefly becomes a dual carriageway as it crosses the valley of the River Lea. (Originally, there was a strait or narrow ford here, which gave its name to Stratford.) This dual carriageway section ends in a one-way system marking Stratford town centre. The eastbound road, Great Eastern Road, passes Stratford station. The westbound road is called Broadway and The Grove; the latter road runs north-south. At the end of the one-way system, The Grove becomes two-way, still going north.

Redbridge

The A11 now apparently disappears. This is because, following the opening of the M11 motorway, the A11 was re-numbered to make it seem a less important road and encourage traffic to use the M11. Its former route goes through the London Borough of Redbridge. It becomes the A1199 and is called Hollybush Hill, Woodford Road and High Road Woodford Green.
