St Katharine's & Wapping, Tower Hamlets: Amenities

St Katharine's & Wapping has the everyday essentials you need, though you'll often find yourself taking a short walk to reach them — many amenities sit just outside the neighbourhood boundaries. Inside the neighbourhood you've got 2 supermarkets, 10 cafés, 24 restaurants, a pharmacy, a post office, and 7 convenience stores. That covers what you need day to day. There's also a cinema, 2 museums, and 5 tourist attractions, which gives the area real character. Banking is the weak spot. There are no bank branches in the neighbourhood and ATMs are hard to find. You'll need to head elsewhere for financial services. Green space is genuinely impressive here — 11 parks sit within the neighbourhood, which is well above average for UK areas.
