If markets are your thing, you can hunt for antiques at Greenwich market, look for Asian fashions in Green Street and taste the delights of Spitalfields or Borough market. In contrast, Canary Wharf has become one of the most cosmopolitan areas of London with over 140 shops, restaurants, cafes and bars.

There are a large number of open spaces in the area with over 40 miles of signposted routes. Spend time strolling along the Thames or the many canals and waterways. Alternatively, you may prefer to go on a guided walking tour to discover the streets where Jack the Ripper once stalked his prey, or infamous gangsters such as the Kray twins once ruled.

Britain is renowned for its pubs and restaurants and East London is no exception. Pubs line the waterside, where once upon a time infamous pirates and smugglers would have drunk.

East London hosts some of the city's most famous attractions. Discover the famous Tower of London, or take in the views from the Tower Bridge Experience.
