Hello all, I'll be making a trip to the Whitechapel Gallery on Saturday.
We'll be taking the Tube from St.P to Whitechapel (got one day
Travelcards).
Afterwards, we'll be having a walk around, a few things on the list -
Smithfield, Borough market, Globe Theatre, Lincoln and Grays Inn.

From the map, all of these look pretty walk-able from Whitechapel. Is
that so in real life?

Depends on the age and fitness of the group. There's a fair amount of
walking involved to cover the places listed. If it was me, after
visiting the Whitechapel Gallery I'd get the tube back to Farringdon and
then explore Smithfield and the rest from there.

Also, anything else in the eastern half of London that we should visit?

Masses, but it depends on your interests. The Museum of London is near
Smithfield, and it's well worth taking the Millenium Bridge from just
south of St Paul's to get across the river for Borough Market and The
Globe. On the south side it leads straight to Tate Modern, which is well
worth a visit, and is close to The Globe.

You could also consider wandering up Brick Lane after the Whitechapel
Gallery - it has a unique atmosphere, but is very busy on Saturdays.
Don't leave Borough Market too late in the day - it tends to start
running down by mid-afternoon.

Don't forget that with a travelcard you can always hop on a bus if the
walking gets too tiring.
