[2] In 1884, Florence Eleanor Soper, the daughter-in-law of General William Booth of The Salvation Army, inaugurated The Women's Social Work, which was run from a small house in Hanbury Street.

Today, buildings with shops below and flats above can still be found on the south side of Hanbury Street, across from the murder site.

The Old Truman Brewery was extended to cover the entire block on the north side of Hanbury Street; since 2004 this has been the site of Sunday (Up)Market.

Neo-Nazi militant David Copeland attempted to detonate a nail-bomb upon Hanbury Street on Saturday 24 April 1999.

On realising it could have been a bomb he left the car at the junction with Fashion Street and called police, at which time the device exploded injuring six people and destroying two vehicles.
