Answer: Banglatown is a locality in East London, inhabited by Bangladeshi diaspora in Britain. British-Bangladeshis, also known as British- Bengalis, are an important part of the people of Bangladeshi origin living abroad. Almost half of the British-Bangladeshis live in Banglatown. It was formerly known as the East London boroughs, including a street named Brick Lane and Tower Hamlets, having the highest concentration. The whole locality has a Bangladeshi environment. One can see Bangladeshi restaurants, Bengali street-signs, green and red lamp-posts (reflecting the colours of our flag), Bangladeshi food stores, and advertisement of Bangladesh Biman and Sonali Bank. There are a number of visible Bangladeshi landmarks, such as Altab Ali Park, the Kobi Nazrul Cultural Centre and the Shohid Minar Monument. These landmarks are matters of pride for the British Bangladeshis. In 2001, the British Bangladeshi leaders moved to change the name of the locality that was recognized by the British government in order to give it a distinct cultural identity.
