Cambridge Heath is a place in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The earliest recorded use of the name is as Camprichthesheth in 1275.[1]

It forms part of the East End of London and is located north of Bethnal Green. The area is the location, at Patriot Square, of the former Bethnal Green Town Hall. Cambridge Heath formed part of this metropolitan borough from 1900 to 1965.[2]

Cambridge Heath Road runs north-south from the borough boundary with the London Borough of Hackney to Stepney. It passes Cambridge Heath railway station and Bethnal Green tube station.

The nearest London Underground station is Bethnal Green on the Central Line.

Education

Recently a 6th form college was built in Cambridge Heath. The main building is called The Wessex Centre but some lessons are taught at Oaklands School, Morpeth School and Swanlea School. It first opened in September 2009.
