Lansburry is a great place to stay. Very friendly staff, tastefully decorated, bright, well mantained and reasonibly sized rooms (well, this is London!). Breakfast could be better. They only offer traditional english breakfast, which means cheese, fruit and bread selection are particularly weak. Poplar DLR station is really close (5 minutos.walking), there are some groceries stores nearby but if you want a better restaurant or shopping, should go to Canary Wharf, some 15 minutes walking. The main tourist attractions are really away, expect 30 minutrs to one hour to reach them, but considering the prices they usually charge, I think it well worths it! I would defiinetely come back!
