Don’t be put off by all the high-rise banks and offices, not everything in Canary Wharf will damage your wallet. Less than a 10-minute walk from Canary Wharf underground and Canada Square shopping centre, you'll find your Point A Hotel. And even closer is the Dockland Diner, so close you could probably see it from your hotel room. This classic café serves up the full English breakfast you were dreaming about the night before, all so reasonably priced it’s easy to forget what part of London you are in. 

If you are looking to splash the cash, award-winning chef Tom Aikens’ restaurant is less than 5 minutes, as is Goodman’s steakhouse. Famed as one of the best steaks in London, you’ll be spoilt for choice. I’ll have the sirloin please.

Looking for a cool hangout to unwind with a few drinks, then The Parlour Bar and The Pagination are what you’re looking for. The latter even has a riverside terrace spot which is great during those warmer months. Make sure to visit the Crossrail Place Roof Garden for some spectacular views of London alongside some beautiful greenery.

Don’t forget to stop by the outdoor ice skating rink in Canada Square Park. Hurry, it’s only open from November to February! And if culture is more your thing, you can find the Museum of London Docklands a stone’s throw away from your Point A Hotel. Or 10 minutes on the DLR line, it’s all aboard the Cutty Sark.
