Its interesting hinterland is rich in local culture and history. Several well-preserved examples of 19th century architecture enhance the charm of the city. When the sun goes down, there are theatres, cinemas and a selection of restaurants to sample. East London has something for everyone, whether you're a sporting enthusiast, fisherman, historian, nature lover, or simply in need of a rejuvenating break away from it all.
