The Grapes review: A legendary pub with proud history

Everyone familiar with the drinking scene in Limehouse and Canary Wharf will be well aware of the iconic Grapes.

This famous drinking spot has been a fixture on London’s social scene since way back in 1583, and remains one of the city’s most-loved boozers. It's a popular spot, but the open fire adds a cosy feel to the place.

The charming Narrow Street pub is owned by Evgeny Lebedev, Sean Mathias and Sir Ian McKellen, and you can even find one of the staffs McKellen used to film the Lord of the Rings behind the bar.
