East London Tramways Company

The East London Tramways Company was a transportation operator in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, responsible for running tram services in East London. It established and maintained a network of street-level tram routes used for urban passenger transit, helping to connect neighborhoods and facilitate daily commute. The company contributed to the development of urban mobility during that era, integrating electric or horse-drawn tramcars into the city’s transportation infrastructure. Over time, like many tram companies, it was eventually absorbed into larger transportation authorities as cities modernized and transitioned to trolleybuses, buses, and underground rail systems.
