Limehouse has a maritime and nautical history. It was a busy shipping port in the 1800s, although the docks closed in the 1960s. Limehouse Basin remains an active feature of the area and is home to Limehouse Basin Marina, which links to the Regents Canal and Limehouse Cut.
Converted warehouses rub shoulders with modern developments, and the ever-famous Narrow Street is home to many. You can also find Victorian cottages and smaller apartments. There are options for many tastes and budgets. River frontage properties benefit from a sunny southerly aspect as Limehouse is on the northern side of the River Thames.
The towering success of nearby Canary Wharf and the ongoing development in the surrounding area have transformed Limehouse from the discarded east-end docks it once was to the trendy riverside location that it remains today.
Shoppers can explore boutique options at nearby Canary Wharf, One Canada Square or east-end markets like Roman Road in Bow or Brick Lane Market, E1. Narrow Street is a popular riverside destination. Walk along the Street adjacent to the river and find pubs and restaurants to enjoy.
