Limehouse is a distinctive riverside district in East London, situated between the commercial centres of Canary Wharf and the historic heart of the City. Known for its maritime heritage, Limehouse was once a bustling port area and remains famous for its picturesque Limehouse Basin, which connects the River Thames to the Regent’s Canal. The area's unique identity draws from its blend of warehouse conversions, period Georgian and Victorian terraces, and striking new apartment buildings hugging the water’s edge.
