Attracting Wapping residents as well as tourists over the years, Il Bordello often sees queues out of the door during the week. Despite its position at the bottom of one of Wapping’s modernised brick wharfs, you could be taking a step back into the 1990s here – complete with tables covered in plastic cloths, and napkins carefully curled into wine glasses. The food, complemented by an all-Italian wine list, is similarly straightforward.

Drinks & Nightlife
The old warehouse location adds to the briny charm of the place, and the large windows overlooking the Thames are a joy. There's plenty of space in the large ground-floor bar, with further room and a restaurant upstairs. The adjacent yard gives an outdoor riverside option in the summer.
The usual range of Sam Smith's beer and wine can be yours for a few pieces of eight.

Craft Beer Co. You probably know the drill by now. A big long bar filled with more kegs and casks than you could possibly sample in one session. This simple but glorious idea is continued here at the chain's eighth branch, which opened in summer 2017. We counted almost 30 options, and that's before the fridge bottles. The small downstairs area is supplemented with a further drinking lounge upstairs, and what the pub bills (in large letters) as a 'secret roof terrace'.

This old ship just had a refit and is looking even more shipshape than normal. It's a favourite East End pub, beloved of everyone from suits to scoundrels to those visiting for the Sunday night drag-act cabaret. A more ecumenical pub you won't find anywhere. A friendly welcome greets regulars and newcomers alike. It's a pub of three halves (thirds, surely? - ed). The buzzing front bar is where the main action is. A smaller secondary room offers a more intimate drink. Finally, at the back, there's a games room with a pool table. A straightforward selection of food and drink (including well-kept IPA) can be gained from the bar.
