Whitechapel (East) / Shadwell (West) / Wapping
Map 96
Ex-dockland Wapping now imports yuppies into its converted warehouses, less-gleaming Shadwell and Whitechapel keep more of the East End spirit alive. Wapping High Street is mainly residential, Whitechapel Road is more lively. Drink at Indo if you’re boho, stick with The Captain Kidd if not. Tayyab’s is cracking—stick out the queues, or if curry’s not your thing head to Il Bordello.
