Food Scene

Amazing community garden, with lots of tables and benches outside on the grass. Also space to sit down inside the yurt itself. There's a cafe with fresh bread, breakfast, coffee, cake and other nibbles. Free/cheap social activities are organised there, too.

I'm a huge Italian food fan, and love La Figa. It's a bit pricey, but totally worth it! Attentive staff, buzzing atmosphere, a bar, and delicious food.

It's the closest cinema. Genesis at Stepney Green is pretty close too, and it's cheaper than Cineworld. However, Cineworld has bigger screens plus bigger and more comfortable seats.

Parks & Nature

This is a small farm, with well-cared for farm animals. You can get up close and personal with the nature. And then unwind at the cafe. Great for kids and adults alike.

Drinks & Nightlife

It's a cool hangout spot, right next to the station. Reasonably priced beer. Good food. Great staff. And a tiny outside space wedged next to the railway line.

Sightseeing

Canary Wharf is the new financial district. (The old one is the City - not far away, over at Monument & Bank.) Not only are there very tall buildings (!), but also a shopping centre, lots of restaurants and bars, two cinemas and, of course, the river Thames.
