 In case there is no public service for what reason e g Christmas Day London Town becomes impossible to reach The nearest Santander city bike is 3 miles walking away taxi costs a fortune and walking to the center is no option A few bikes from the hotel would be a perfect solution as there are roads for bikes next to the hotel to the center of London On the other hand If you want to visit the ExCel you re probably in the perfect hotel 
 Breakfast was good restaurant is cosy and has a nice few over the Thames Very kind sfatt everywhere and a nice bar for the evening hours with reasonable prices
