The Grapes

We've been recommended by The Good Pub Guide since 1996, and you'll understand why when you visit. Overlooking the Thames, in a peaceful neighbourhood not that far from the bustle of Canary Wharf, The Grapes is one of the oldest pubs in London. Charles Dickens was a patron and even made reference to the pub in his novel 'Our Mutual Friend'. Leaseholder Ian McKellen has written a brief history, here, should you wish to find out more. Whether you’re after a quick lunch, dinner by the river or just a friendly greeting in your local pub, we’d love to welcome you to The Grapes in Limehouse.

Whilst our history goes back over 500 years, our menus are a little more up-to-date! If you're looking for something quick and tasty like our famous fish and chips, you’ll find tempting pub grub downstairs in the bar, or on our heated riverside deck.
