EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exterior of the Oporto pub, located in the vibrant and historic district of Limehouse, London. The image presents a corner view of the pub, with its red brick facade adorned with ornate white detailing and the distinctive "Oporto" sign hanging above the entrance. The pub, which was once a part of the Charrington and Company Limited estate, exudes a sense of tradition and charm, inviting passersby to step inside and enjoy a pint or two. The Oporto, which was located at 49-51 Narrow Street, E14 8EZ, was a beloved local watering hole in the heart of Limehouse. However, as of July 2018, the pub has undergone a transformation and is now known as The Westferry Arms. The change in ownership, while unfortunate for some, is a reminder of the ever-evolving nature of urban landscapes. Despite the pub's new identity, this photograph serves as a snapshot in time, preserving the memory of the Oporto as it once was. The image invites us to reflect on the history of this corner of Limehouse and the role that pubs like the Oporto play in shaping the character of our communities.
