Pubs in Wapping

Tucked along the Thames between the City and Canary Wharf, Wapping retains a quiet, almost village-like feel despite its dockside history and proximity to London's financial centres. Converted warehouses now house flats and studios, while cobbled streets and narrow alleys still trace the old maritime quarter. It's a place for evening walks along the river path, weekend lunches with a view, or simply escaping the crowds that gather just a few stops away on the Tube.

The riverside defines the pub scene here, with Prospect of Whitby and The Mayflower Pub both offering Thames-facing tables and centuries of history soaked into their walls. The Brunel pulls in regulars for live music and sports on the big screens, while Wapping Tavern rounds out the options with craft ales and table bookings for those after something a bit more considered.
