I may be wrong in this, but I suspect many of the old Eastenders were very parochial. Several generations might live their lives within a very small area. Lechmere had been a SGE man for most of his life, so how familiar he would have been with the streets between Doveton Street and Spitalfields is questionable. Spitalfields itself, because of the markets, he probably knew, but visiting busy markets there to do some shopping is very different from wandering through the back streets in the early hours.
