Limehouse is a historic dockside area in transition, blending Chinatown charm with modern waterside developments and excellent transport links. Popular with young professionals and City workers seeking relative value close to Canary Wharf, it retains pockets of character along the Regent's Canal and around Limehouse Basin. The area offers a grittier, more authentic East London experience than its glossier neighbours.
