The Hoop and Grapes

Description

Just a short walk from Whitechapel, Aldgate Tube and Mansell Street, The Hoop and Grapes is a conveniently located, traditionally British pub, providing a relaxed retreat in the bustling heart of London.  

The building itself has plenty of stories to tell, in fact, it’s lucky to be around at all after the Great Fire of London stopped just 50 yards away, making it one of the few timber framed buildings from the period to survive. 

With plenty of visit-worthy locations nearby, including Old Spitalfields Market, Whitechapel Gallery, and The Gherkin, the comfortable seating and warm welcome offer the perfect spot to recharge your batteries.
