Drinks & Nightlife
Very relaxed wine bar and french styled menu. Can be exceptionally busy though on conference days as it is on the way to Custom House DLR.
We have had many a pleasant hour in there. Has games too.

Sightseeing
I love the the Airline. My only complaint is that the ride is over too soon. If you don't like heights, not for you. Fantastic view over docks, Thames and The Dome (O2)

Everything Else
The Excel is probably why many folks might be here in the first place. Huge conferencing venue. Plenty to see there. Even worth a look for the building itself.

If you like engineering you will love it. It stops central London flooding. If you live East of it, well, remember your Wellies.
Don't like engineering? There is a very pleasant park and coffee shop.

Our local airport. If you are flying from/to Europe it's very convenient from here.
Quick check in and baggage reclaim. Too bad they are not bigger planes that flew further.

Arts & Culture
Well worth a visit. A massive tent and the busiest music venue in the world. Anyone who is a big name has played there. Maybe plan your stay to coincide with your favourite star.
