The Grapes is a historic riverside pub at 76 Narrow Street in Limehouse. Its traditional Victorian long bar, wood panelling and oil paintings create a distinctive old London atmosphere, while the small heated terrace projects over the Thames.
The bar menu runs from small plates to larger pub meals, with fish and chips a house speciality. The food is designed to suit anything from a few bites with a drink to a full casual lunch or dinner in the main bar.
Ales, wine and spirits remain central to the pub, and the first-floor drinking room looks along the river towards Canary Wharf and the City. The Dickens Snug and the building’s long history add character without turning the venue into a formal dining room.
The Grapes does not take table reservations and, because of its premises licence, welcomes adults only. Menu availability can change, so guests with allergies or dietary requirements should speak with the team about the current dishes and preparation before ordering.
Address: 76 Narrow Street, Limehouse, London E14 8BP, England
