“The Crowne Plaza Docklands is
the main hotel for the giant ExCel
Centre. It's a great place to stay if
you're visiting a conference or
exhibition, with a magnificent
breakfast buffet to set you up for
the day, and all the facilities
you'll need to relax in the
evening. The unusual location
offers great views across the
Victoria Dock”

“Staying at this hotel puts you
right in the centre of Greenwich,
with a thousand years of British
naval history on your doorstep, as
well shops, cinemas, bars and
nightlife. The Docklands are just
across the river, and it has great
connections to the City of London
and the West End as well - regular
trains take you straight to Charing
Cross”
