Except the fact that the pub unfortunately was closed, everything was exactly like it was described in the advertisement. Alex was very pleasant to communicate with and also he daily came in to make sure everything would be alright. The other guests staying at this place whilst I was around were very kind and friendly too.
However, to avoid any eventual disappointments for other travellers who are coming, I would like to emphasise:
This is Poplar which belongs to the borough Tower of Hamlets, and which is quite another world in comparison to the touristy parts of London. However, if you like it to be rather down-to-earth when travelling, far away from the shiny, glitzy world of London City...this is your place to be!
Thank you, dear Alex. I enjoyed it.
All the best
Dinah
P.S. Nevertheless, I would have liked a small tea towel in my room. ;-)
