Local shops and restaurants
There is plenty of restaurants, rooftop bars, boat and water activities a short walk away along the river including a Tesco Express. Just walk out of the gate and take your first left. If you have time to explore recommend going left and doing a full circle along the river and up the bridge by the excel for the most amazing views of London.

Local Food delivery & restaurants
For takeaway and food delivery you can use Uber Eats, Deliveroo or Just Eat. There is a Thai restaurant called Nakhoon Thai 5 minute walk away (first left outside of the gate) there is also a Lebanese called Al Masar and chinese called China Palace. There are plenty of grill restaurants and cafes around that area and lots more by the Excel Centre and O2. I recoMmend Afternoon Tea on the Sunborn Yacht as a treat.
