In due time, could the East End ever become as important as the West End (London, UK)

[Qubert]

I know that as recently as the 1980s the very notion would have been laughable, but when one sees the amount of gentrification in Spitalfields, Shoreditch, Bow etc coupled with the Elizabeth Line opening I can see it being possible. If you take the area roughly bracketed by The City, Stratford and Canary Wharf could one day this become a second premiere entertainment/cultural hub as much as say Soho/Mayfair is?

The "East End" area as you defined it seems too broad to me to compare with the West End. Maybe Shoreditch-Spitalfields-City though.
