For your visit
Outdoors
Royal Victoria Gardens
These 19th-century pleasure gardens are still a delightful place to watch the river go by.
Food & Drink
Yi-Ban
This Chinese restaurant occupies a floor of the London Regatta Centre overlooking the Docks, meaning diners can plane-watch over a plate of dim sum.
Places To Stay
Travelodge London ExCeL
A good budget choice, eight minutes walk from the ExCeL centre.
