We start our ‘best things to do in Wapping’ guide with one of the oldest riverside pubs in London. The oldest riverside pub setting in London dating back to the 1520s (500 years young!), the Prospect of Whitby is a traditional British pub with incredible views overlooking the River Thames. If possible, try to get a seat in the beer garden out the b...
A magnificent marina in the shadow of London’s iconic Tower Bridge, St Katharine’s Dock has numerous waterside restaurants and cafes, all with stunning glimpses of the superyachts assembled around the quay. This is the best way to feel part of the millionaire’s playground at only a fraction of the cost. From the usual chain restaurants like Honest ...
This former 18th warehouse was never actually ever frequented by Charles Dickens himself, but this doesn’t stop The Dickens Inn in St Katharine’s Dock (Tower Hill) being one of the most popular pubs and Instagrammable places in London. Indeed, in peak tourist season, it can be nigh on impossible to get a table outside and there could possibly be a ...
An exhibition and events centre that has played host to various expos and festivals, you know you’ve reached Tobacco Dock when you see the huge ships ‘docked’ out front (in reality, they are permanent features). A grade I listed building opened in 1812 along Wapping Lane that originally acted as a goods yard and storage depot (mainly for tobacco – ...
Tobacco Dock’s newest drinking area is Skylight Bar, an alfresco rooftop beer garden located on the 4th floor atop their unused car park.

Starlight Bar at Tobacco Doc...
London’s newest Saturday marketopened in April 2021 on a quayside, and is a super little market with a host of artisan food stalls and independent crafts. We first visited Wapping Docklands Market on their second week of opening and were blown away by the set-up, from the live jazz-band to the waterside coffee van (and the cheese stall looked parti...
A grade II listed music hall and one of London’s best known live music venues, Wilton’s Music Hall is like stepping back in time, a glorious throwback to the ballroom dances of yesteryear. Originally built in the 1820s, the hall fell into a state of disrepair over the years but was brought back to live at the start of this century. We’ve visited on...
As well as The Prospect of Whitby, Wapping’s likely most popular pub, there are several other historic bars and riverside drinking spots worth a pint or two:
Oozing maritime history and decked out like a vessel itself, The Town of Ramsgate has a small but ample riverside beer garden overlooking the River Thames. There has been an inn of some form or another here since the 14th century and became known as the Town of Ramsgate from 1811. Keep an eye out for the Wapping Old Steps next door. If you visit th...
A gastropub along Wapping’s Green Lane, this traditional tavern is famous for its French bistro and ornate tiled exterior, with a nice beer-garden overlooking the nearby Wapping Gardens and St John’s church yard. It is also said to be the inn where the condemned prisoners were given their last drink, on their way to the nearby Execution Dock (make ...
