This is my favourite restaurant in London. Fancy venue (but you can still dress smart/casual), excellent Austrian/German fare, it’s a real treat!

This canal is right on your door step, head down Wells road and the footpath is on the other side of the road and grass area. Walk left or right to find the footpath and steps down to it. When looking at the canal from Wells Road, if you go right (West) you're off to Little Venice (gorgeous!) and Notting Hill (delightful), if you head left (East), you're off to Camden (awesome!), King Cross (worth a look these days, especially around the Central St Martins campus with its cafes and restaurants) and beyond! Enjoy!
Please note the canal is showing on the map in the wrong area, of course it wends its way all the way along to where you're staying, so follow my instructions and you should be all good!

I love this marina in East London, right near the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, but a world away from the tourists and crowds. Get lunch by the snazzy boats and choose the one you'd like to buy if you won the lottery!

I used to live here and loved it. Most people moan about it, and say it's soulless, but it's not!
Wander around the skyscrapers and then go to Tom's Kitchen for lunch. Then head down the steps opposite the roundabout from Tom's Kitchen to the river and walk all the way along Narrow Street and continue following the Thames path until you get to St Katharine's marina or beyond... depends how tired your legs get!
