For eating out
P & J Bakers provides baked goods at their very, very best. Bread baked on the premises, fresh and tasty sandwiches and sausage rolls, followed by stupendous cakes and all at very, very purse friendly prices. Proving that great food doesn’t need to cost a packet, this really is an honest to god and traditional East End bakery which can be summed up in one word – yum.
For nightlife
Housed on a boat, the teeny tiny drinking den that is Wibbley Wobbley is a world away from the other drinking establishments on offer in the bright lights of the Docklands. With a smattering of nautical memorabilia on the walls, this unfussy, unpretentious watery watering hole makes for a very different – and fun – night out.
