Commercial Road (part of the A13), 2 miles (3.25km) in length, is in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in the East End of London. It runs from "Gardener's Corner" (on which stands Aldgate East tube station), through Stepney to the junction with Burdett Road (A1205), Limehouse from which point the route becomes the East India Dock Road. The straightness of the route suggests a Roman road, although it was built by the East India Company in the late eighteenth century as part of the development of London Docklands.

Among the powers authorised by the CommercialRoad Act was that of raising the necessary capital required for the undertaking by public subscription on shares secured by mortgage on the revenue to be derived from the tolls payable in respect to the transport of all sorts of vehicles, beasts of burden, cattle, lambs and swine.
The transformation of the road into a populous neighbourhood began with the establishment of sugar refineries in St. George's-in-the-East, which led to the erection of small houses in mean streets for the accommodation of the workmen, many of whom were of German birth, employed in that industry.
In the illustration [left] is shown the CommercialRoad in 1851 spanned at Stepney Station, which was then in Rose Lane, by a bow-string bridge eighty feet in length.
