Wapping area guide

Found in the east of London right on the riverside, Wapping is a community-focussed, sought-after place to live and work – and deservedly so.
Located between Limehouse and Tower Bridge on the north side of the River Thames, Wapping has a notably historic, Dickensian feel to it, complete with cobbled streets, wharves and old warehouses. A booming part of London’s Docklands until World War II wreaked mass devastation on the area, the 1980s saw a restoration of the red-brick buildings and cobblestoned alleyways once more, bringing Wapping back to its former glory. Galleries sprung up in old abandoned spice and tea warehouses, with the avant-garde B2 Gallery being one of the most famous. The elegant Olivers Wharf was also reinvigorated, with a host of celebrity residents including Cher and Sir Alec Guinness calling it home and setting a growing trend for further warehouse conversions and renovations.
Stroll along Wapping’s riverside today with its leafy streets and historic architecture and you won’t fail to notice its vibrant maritime past alongside its thriving, vibrant present.
