Highlights

Location: ExCel Exhibition Centre, just five minutes from London City Airport

Business Facilities: 12 fully-equipped meeting rooms flooded with natural light

Wellness: On-site gym, sauna, and steam room

Dining: Upper Deck restaurant with views of Victoria Dock

“The immediate proximity to ExCeL is a massive draw, and the Upper Deck restaurant certainly catches the eye. I think it's a smart choice for business, but I spotted notes that some rooms could use refreshing, and the dining area gets cramped at peak times. Still, the location seals it for event-goers.”
