Going out
Eating: Boisdale of Canary Wharf has outstanding reviews for its modern British cooking and offers a choice of more than 3,000 whiskies, as well as a cigar menu. The Plateau, on the fourth floor of Canada Place, makes the most of its fantastic views and offers modern French cuisine from fixed price and a la carte menus. For some spice, those in the know head to Aniseed to sample modern Indian cooking – book early as the small number of tables fill up quickly. If you have a yen for modern Japanese cuisine, head to Roka at Canary Wharf, where you can also watch the robata chefs at work.

Drinking: The Gun on Coldharbour is a favourite with locals, and its full restaurant menu offers upmarket gastropub fare, with oysters as their speciality. The Tea Merchant offers a more traditional venue for a pint and a homemade burger and has enviable views across the water.

Culture: Top of the list of places to visit is the London Museum Docklands, which has exhibitions focusing on the history of the area. It also offers the chance to take an evening guided ‘ghost walk’ around Docklands. There is a Cineworld multiplex cinema at West India Quay, and a quick trip on the DLR brings you within walking distance of the Greenwich Picturehouse. For culture vultures, The Space on Westferry Road offers a programme of theatre and dance, together with creative writing workshops, and the Hubbub cafe and bar

Green spaces
The jewel in the crown of this area’s green spaces is Mudchute, comprising 32 acres of countryside and a city farm with more than 100 animals. The land was saved for public use after a campaign to stop a high rise block being built in the 1970s, and since has been run as a charitable organisation that hosts a range of activities for all ages.

Canary Wharf on the river
Famous for being one of London’s top business districts, Canary Wharf also offers plenty for those wanting to unwind after a long day at work. Restaurants are scattered around the water’s edge, including pleasant eateries such as Le Secret Des Rotisseurs and The Gaucho. Those who still have energy to burn can visit the Docklands Sailing and Watersports Centre, which offers a host of activities, including sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and power boating courses.
