On a street which starts at the picturesque Limehouse Basin, this area is so named because it was the mass burial site for impoverished Londoners (employing copious amounts of quicklime). Since the Docklands development, the nearby Isle of Dogs has undergone high-rise transformation. Narrow street has remained much the same however, there are numerous pubs along this waterfront, but this is the best. Fantastic, wooden interiors, peerless food and a wooden river terrace, where you can pass hours watching the river traffic slowly coming and going. There are few better places and on the way back you can study the gin-palaces moored in the basin.
