Whitechapel Station Features Bengali Signage In Recognition Of Area's Bangladeshi Community

LONDON, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 12: Members of the public outside Whitechapel Underground Station on February 12, 2025 in London, England. Bengali signage was installed at the station in 2022, funded by Tower Hamlets council amid wider station improvements, to recognise the contribution of the Bangladeshi community in Tower Hamlets and London generally. In February 2025, Reform UK MP for Great Yarmouth, Rupert Lowe, criticised the sign in a post on X, saying that "This is London - the station name should be in English and English only." The remark elicited a supportive "Yes" from X-owner Elon Musk. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)
