The area is in the northern part of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and southern edge of the London Borough of Hackney. The earliest recorded use of the name is as Camprichthesheth in 1275. The Regents Canal runs along the north and western border with London Fields, South Hackney and Victoria Park
Located north of Bethnal Green, east of Hoxton, south of London Fields and west of Victoria Park and South Hackney, it is the location, at Patriot Square, of the former Bethnal Green Town Hall. Most of Cambridge Heath formed part of this metropolitan borough from 1900 to 1965.
