“The A&O London Docklands Riverside provides more than just a Thames-side stay; the included ferry service to Canary Wharf is a genuine perk. Its history as a former shipbuilding dock adds a layer of authentic London character. I think it's a practical choice, particularly for families or those needing convenient access to the ExCel Centre.”
