Great place to stay and very close to the Emerites Cable Car which was only 10 to 15 min walk.
Plenty to do and lots of places to eat nearby the Excel Centre as well as a Tesco for those essentials you may have forgotten.
The O2 Arena is just 10 min on the cable car at £1.70 per journey if you book a block of 10 journeys which we found to be the most cost effective. There are some cool bars and plenty to eat with all the entertainment you could wish for just inside the O2 arena.
Will definitely be booking again in the near future
