Local Tips

Avoid the immediate area around Tower of London at peak hours (10am-4pm) — it's rammed with tourists

St Katharine Docks at evening is genuinely pleasant; the restaurants are expensive but the waterfront walk is free and beautiful

Best Exits

Exit towards Tower of London if that's your destination

Exit towards St Katharine Docks for waterfront walks and restaurants
