Want some of that? Course you do...
What can I do here?
Walk to work (or enjoy a short commute to the city centre)...
We think living here is a great option for professionals and students. Afterall, Canary Wharf and Queen Mary university are both within walking distance. The city centre is a short ride away on the DLR too.
Like craft beer?...
London Fields Brewery will be right up your alley. Take their tour to learn the history of brewing (and some of the science behind it). Their brews are tasty too. And there are lots of them for you to try.
The Craft Beer Co. Limehouse is popular (amongst the locals). You can enjoy a variety of tasty beers and good wines. They serve food and, if you’re lucky, live music.
Want more from your music?...
Head to Jamboree.
We like this place. It’s a ramshackle, intimate music venue. Live jazz and folk are the flavours. The vibe is relaxed. Hang with a diverse crowd. Enjoy the selection of imported beers. Save money at the door – buy your ticket in advance.
Literary drug fact
In the books, Sherlock Holmes visits Narrow Street in central Limehouse in search of opium. In reality, and today, you are more likely to find realtors and fancy cocktails bars.
