East London

East London rivals Central London's Square Mile (also known as the City of London) as the city's central business district with Canary Wharf, the business centre located on the Isle of Dogs. The are is also home to the country's three tallest buildings. Currently, East London is experiencing a property boom due to its proximity to Central London and because of London's successful bid to host the 2012 Olympics.

Another of interest is the New Spitalfields Market, which opened in 1991 and is located on a 31-acre site in Leyton. Here shoppers can find anything from vegetable to vintage goods at this popular market. The area of Brick Lane is intriguing because of the Bangladeshi settlers and shops, where travelers can sample homemade curry and browse designer label boutiques showing off the local talent.

The area's best hotels can be found at Canary Wharf. The Hilton London Canary Wharf is a modern 4 star hotel. While the Britannia International Hotel is comfortably located near London City Airport.
