Local Government Districts:

New Road is in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, created on 1 April 1965, within the administrative area of Greater London.

Previously, New Road was in the Metropolitan Borough of Stepney (established 1900) within the County of London (established 1889), both of which entities were abolished in 1965.

The northern third of New Road (some 400 feet), which included the New Street Synagogue, was in the civil parish of Whitechapel, the southern two-thirds being in the civil parish of Mile End Old Town. Both civil parishes, which were in the former County of Middlesex until 1889, were abolished in 1927 by absorption into Stepney Borough parish (until that parish's abolition in 1965). The civil parish of Whitechapel formed a constituent part of the Whitechapel District from 1856 to 1900.

Registration Districts:

From 1 July 1837 - Whitechapel
From 1 January 1926 - Stepney
Since 1 January 1983 - Tower Hamlets (which now holds the registers)
