Infamous for its nineteenth century murders, The Elephant Man and low place on the Monopoly board, this area seems to be a little unloved. Wrongly in our opinion. Regardless whether you work here, live here or play here, you're going to want to know where to drink. Check out our recommended list of pubs in Whitechapel, so next time you're in the area, you'll know what's hot to trot.

From 30 whiskies that dominate the back-bar to their menu of top notch gastro inspired grub, Leman Street Tavern is one of the best pubs in Whitechapel thanks to its quirky interiors, laid back bustle and offbeat charm.
Forget you're in the city with a bottle of wine and friends at The Blind Beggar, one of the city's most famous pubs. A former watering hole for the Kray twins, it boasts a gorgeous decked pergola for summer and a cosy fire in winter making it great find all year round.
Boasting a spacious, sunny beer garden, The Princess of Prussia is a great to visit during summer. This Victorian haunt feels traditional and serves up some great beers and tasty food, plus it's located close to Tower Bridge so a perfect stopover after a day of sightseeing.
With home brewed seasonal ales and lagers from their basement, The White Hart is golden. Traditional at heart, they serve hearty pub grub which really is the best around, and have a wine list that wonderfully complements their hearty and stunning meals.
This historic venue has dilapidated furniture and peeling paint, but that only contrasts with the great selection of modern music artists they have at this unique pub. Great for live music and a relaxed drink in the evening, The George Tavern is a real cultural gem.
