I have to admit, that this wasn't my first time I've been to London. And because of that, I did not visit most of the typical tourist stuff again.

The Docklands, located in the eastern part of London, are probably not the first place a tourist would go, if they are visiting London. I bet there are a decent amount of people who visited London several times already and were never there. That means unless your airport is the London City Airport which is located right in the dockland district or if you visiting ExCeL. This really huge exhibition centre is also located there. End of January an american friend and myself went for a four day trip to London. Since we had an event coming up at ExCeL we choose a Hotel close by for the whole
