East London is a great area to live, study and work. It’s jam-packed with possibilities to explore and develop - it's one of a kind! Docklands is awesome for students, with amazing transport links, a gorgeous green environment, and some really cool spots to visit. Whilst you’re in the area you could:
• Get your beach vibes on (no sunshine required) at London’s only cable wakeboarding park.
