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.

Super cool space to lounge, surf the net, read a book, work on your start-up, that sort of thing! They have coffee, cake, soup, etc. They also run regular social activities.

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.

Tasty wood-fired pizza. Not a restaurant, but there are a few seats in there, or take-away.

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.
