“I think this Victorian-style pub lodging offers a surprisingly intimate feel near Canary Wharf, a nice contrast to the bigger hotels. The stone-baked pizzas and lively pub nights create a comfortable local scene. For those looking to explore Greenwich or catch a show at The O2, it's a cozy and convenient base.”
