Things to do in London

London needs no introduction, but our location at Poplar offers up some off-beat diversions. Billingsgate Market is close by for fresh fish, the Museum of London Docklands tells the story of the local area, and the Cutty Sark and Royal Observatory at Greenwich are just over half an hour’s walk through the Isle of Dogs and across the river. The Isle of Dogs itself is a peaceful escape from London life, with plenty of green spaces including Mudchute Park and Farm and Island Gardens. Of course, the full London experience, with all your favourite attractions, is also within a few stops on the underground.
