Cheap Hotels in Docklands, London

What to see:
The Docklands area in East London has been transformed out of all recognition in the last couple of decades. The Port of London was once the busiest port in the world but, after years of decline, the docks were finally closed in 1980. Now this riverside area is home to Canary Wharf, one of the UK's main financial centres, and a host of glossy skyscrapers, shopping centres and apartment blocks.

Highlights:
The Docklands area is great for shopping and eating out, particularly the Canary Wharf shopping centre. You can easily pop across to Greenwich (just across the River Thames and linked by a foot tunnel and the Docklands Light Railway), which has the fantastic Maritime Museum as well as the Royal Observatory.

Practicalities:
The Docklands area is very well served by public transport, with Underground services (stations include Canary Wharf and ), as well as the overland Docklands Light Railway. There's also a great network of bus lines, and you could also make use of the Thames Clipper riverboat service.
