Some hotel suggestions

 

All are less than 10 minutes’ walk, in order of distance from the CA. Prices are indicative only and vary from one website to another. Please note we haven’t inspected any of these and don’t recommend one or another!

 

The Royal Foundation of St Katharine https://www.rfsk.org.uk/

Britain’s oldest charitable trust now offers stylish bed and breakfast from £97. NB with apologies: the 10% discount mentioned in the newsletter only applies for CA members.

 

Holiday Inn Express https://tinyurl.com/57ube7t3

Reliable chain of no-frills hotels. Rooms currently from £136 but they vary day to day.

 

Limehouse Library Hotel https://limehousehotel.com/

Small boutique hotel in a famous East London library. Very cool rooms from £129 but don’t expect these prices to last.

 

Premier Inn Canary Wharf https://tinyurl.com/4kjs7w93

A few minutes further but currently the lowest price from £84 excluding breakfast.
