Hungry conference goers looking for somewhere interesting to lunch are recommended to seek out an authentic US diner and a community garden café.
(TRAVPR.COM) UK - October 29th, 2013 - London’s ExCel conference centre prepares to welcome thousands of hungry conference-goers to the World Travel Market 2013 conference next week, an annual business-to-business event showcasing 5,000 exhibiters in the tourism industry. The event takes place between Monday 4th November and Thursday 7th November and is one of the highlights of the tourism calendar for professionals in all areas of the industry. Those who are hoping to attend and who are still planning to book accommodation should visit LondonTown.com, which has details for the best hotels near World Travel Market that are offering great last-minute deals for interested parties.
Those in the tourism industry know that to find the most interesting places to dine in any city you need to go off the beaten track, and while the ExCel centre is home to several eateries, there are more authentic places a little further afield for those willing to explore. Close to the ExCel is the remarkable Garden Community Café (7 Cundy Road, E16 3DJ), a locally-run community restaurant with real character and charm that offers something far removed from the chain restaurants that dominate the area. Also recommended in the area is the hugely charismatic and brilliantly named Fatboy’s Diner (Trinity Buoy Wharf, E14 0JW), an American diner that has been transported over from New Jersey and which offers an experience that is a little like stepping back in time to the 1950s. It’s not the easiest place to find, but does reward the appetite with excellent hamburgers, chips and milkshake.
Located right next to the ExCel centre is one of London’s newest tourist attractions, the Emirates Air Line cable car, which crosses the river Thames between the ExCel Centre and the 02 Arena, offering great views of the river. The 02 Arena is home to numerous restaurants to suit all budgets, but if you have the time to take a short walk from the 02 Arena, you can visit a more traditional London pub in the shape of the Pilot Inn (68 River Way, SE10 0BE), a great historic riverside pub with an atmosphere that oozes history.
