A short walk from London Excel Center, on the Elizabeth line.
Expect high security, airport style.
We were only in the foyer/media room. Lots of meeting rooms. Very polite and diverse staff which reflects London's population. We were offered a light lunch which was very considerate.
The yacht hotel isn't far, lots of other hotel chains too. Easy access., lots of food and drink places to have a bite.
The site has a café/lounge.
The infrastructure is massive and space isn't used to its full potential. Could provide more services for Londoners.
If you like modern architecture you'll love this beautiful modern building. It's captivating in its simplicity.
I live in the area so I'm happy that the London mayor has chosen east London to be his base. Hopefully money, jobs and recreational facilities will be pumped into Canning town and the surrounding areas.

Lovely seating area when on a quick lunch break in the city. You can see the sites of Tower Bridge, London Bridge in the background. Plenty foodaries around as well or being your packed lunch.
The mayor moved from City Hall in Southwark at the end of 2021 to its new home in Royal Victoria docks. A large, reflective building in a sparse, bare surrounding.
A great place where I used to live and I just to another side. For me this place reminds me lot memories. ❤️
City Hall, in the London Borough of Newham in east London, is the headquarters of the Greater London Authority , the regional government for Greater London. It replaced the previous City Hall, in Southwark in 2022. The building opened in 2012 and was previously an exhibition centre for sustainable architecture, known as The Crystal. At the time it opened, it was the first building in the world to reach the highest sustainable award level. It was bought by the GLA in 2019 for the docklands redevelopment project.
Super cool and modern building! A perk is that the cable car 🚠 is available just in front of the building and the area around offers quite a few activities and restaurants. Also the area seems to offer water sport 🤽♀️ …
