Rooms to rent Limehouse

Located on the northern bank of the Thames, neighbouring Stepney Green to the west and Canary Wharf to the east, Limehouse is a thriving district within the London Borough of Tower Hamelets in the east end of London.

St Anne’s, Limehouse is one of several East End churches created St Anne’s Church by Nicholas Hawksmoor, who was Sir Christopher Wren’s most talented pupil. The church’s exterior has been fully restored, and the interior contains the Gray and Davison Great Exhibition of 1851 organ.

For a taste of rural life, Stepney City Farm has been running since 1979 when local residents, schools, churches and community groups were consulted and a small patch of land was secured for the farm’s use. Formerly known as the Stepping Stones Farm, the 4.2-acre Stepney City Farm runs several projects including a Community Growing Club, Saturday Craft Sessions and open volunteering sessions. The site has been through several incarnations since the 17th century.

Commercial Road is also home to some of the finest East End’s pubs, trying to recreate the feel of an authentic East End boozers. The George Tavern is a trendy, family run pub in the heart of East London. Once a reference point in the writing of Charles Dickens, Samuel Pepys and Geoffrey Chaucer, the Georgian building is now a hotbed for emerging artists, musicians and creatives. The George also hosts its own unique art gallery with monthly exhibitions.
