The emergency doors providing track level access on Whitechapel Road, between Aldgate East and Whitechapel stations.
They are the only clue at surface level that there was ever a station there.

The platforms had a brick wall built on the edge of the platform as part of its conversion to air-raid shelter during the war.
The wall still remains and that is virtually all you will see from a passing train.

Interesting map from the 1930s showing 1) St.Mary's station and 2) Whitechapel station layout, clearly showing the District line, (what is now) the East London line, and the St.Mary's curve connection between the two.

The St.Mary's curve has been decommissioned during the current East London Line overground conversions works and according to Martin Clitheroe, the tunnel has been blocked.
