===Tower Hamlets===
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|Aldgate East Underground station]]), again part of the Aldgate one-way system. The A11 passes through [[Whitechapel]], past [[Whitechapel tube station|Whitechapel station]] and the [[Royal London Hospital]]. It becomes Mile End Road at the eastern end of [[Whitechapel Road]], at Mile End Gate, the former toll gate for the turnpike, passing [[Stepney Green tube station|Stepney Green Underground station]], with [[Stepney]] to the south, and then [[Mile End tube station|Mile End Underground station]]. Next, it becomes [[Bow Road]], passing [[Bow Road tube station|Bow Road Underground station]] and [[Bow Church DLR station]].

It passes [[Stepney Green tube station|Stepney Green Underground station]], with [[Stepney]] to the south, and continues through [[Mile End]], passing the [[Mile End tube station|Mile End Underground station]]. Next, it becomes [[Bow Road]], passing [[Bow Road tube station|Bow Road Underground station]] and [[Bow Church DLR station]].
There is a dual carriageway flyover over the [[Bow Interchange]] roundabout, a junction with the [[A12 road (Great Britain)|A12]]. However at the end of the flyover, as the road crosses into the [[London Borough of Newham]], the A11 designation disappears and it instead becomes the [[A118 road|A118]]. This renumbering followed the opening of the [[A12 road (Great Britain)|A12]] extension in 1999, to make it the former A11 seem less important road and encourage traffic to use the new dual carriageway between there and [[Leytonstone]].
