Wapping is a truly authentic destination that's been a vibrant part of London life for hundreds of years. Filled with independent cafés and restaurants, it boasts London’s oldest riverside pub, The Prospect of Whitby, previously popular with the likes of Charles Dickens, Samuel Pepys, Turner and Whistler.

By the river, Hermitage Community Moorings attracts sailing barges, tugs and small boats – keeping Wapping’s river-centred heritage alive.

Nearby, Wilton’s is the world’s oldest surviving Grand Music Hall and one of London’s best-kept secrets. This stunning and atmospheric building hosts an exciting programme of entertainment, including theatre, music, comedy, cinema and cabaret.

With several London Underground, Overground and Docklands Light Railway stations within walking distance, London Dock offers quick and convenient access to London's main financial centres of the City and Canary Wharf.

The newly opened Whitechapel Crossrail station links to the Elizabeth Line for a faster journey to Heathrow Airport, Paddington, Reading and beyond.
