It transfers to Tower Hamlets part of Victoria Park lying to the south of Cadogan Terrace, and to the east of Wetherell Road, Guinness Close and Victoria Park Road, so that the whole of that Park is united in that borough. It transfers to Hackney part of Hackney Wick, including the East Cross Centre, the Hackney Wick Railway Station, and part of Waterden Road. Consequential changes are made to borough ward and petty sessional area boundaries.

The map forming part of this Note (Page 4) gives a general guide to the areas affected and the changes made. In approximate terms, the land transferred from Hackney to Tower Hamlets has a total area of 30 hectares, and that transferred from Tower Hamlets to Hackney a total area of 10 hectares. All areas transferred are unpopulated.

For full details of the transfers made, the order maps (described in article 2) should be inspected.
