Get cosy in riverside pubs in Wapping
An area of London's Docklands, Wapping is home to some fantastic waterside pubs and has a strong maritime character. It's also associated with the newspaper industry. The Battle of Wapping in 1986 saw a year-long picket of new printworks by Fleet Street printers sacked after the introduction of new technology. You can see reminders of the protests with a mural in Cable Street and a pub called the Trade Union.
Check out the local arts scene
Enjoy a show at Wilton's, an atmospheric former music hall in Graces Alley that stages plays, operas, puppetry, classical music, cabaret, dance and magic shows.
Get active at Shadwell Pierhead
If you fancy learning to sail, kayak or powerboat while you're here, the Shadwell Basin Outdoor Activity Centre is the place to be. It teaches activities on the water, as well as land-based climbing, high ropes and mountain biking.
