Limehouse

Limehouse occupies a low-lying, riverside portion of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, bounded by the Thames to the south and the Limehouse Cut canal to the north. Its historical identity is tied to the old Limehouse Basin, a key junction where the Regent's Canal meets the river. The area's street pattern reflects its maritime and industrial past, with narrow lanes leading to the water and larger thoroughfares like Commercial Road running through.

The built environment is a mix of modern residential developments, particularly around the renovated docks, and surviving pockets of Victorian terraced housing. Narrow Street, following the river's curve, is lined with converted warehouses and pubs that speak to its previous life. The area remains a functional port for aggregates, with barges still navigating the basin, while the historic Grapes pub overlooks the working riverfront.
