		The hotel is about a 5 minute walk from Tower Hill tube station and Stepney Green station is right across the street from the hospital so it would be a convenient location.
		The most practicable route by public transport from Canary Wharf is by bus to Mile End (D7 or 277) and then the 25 from outside Mile End tube station to Stepney Green, or take the tube for that leg.
		Of all of them the Tower Thistle is the nicest - Great location right on the river w/ views of the Tower/bridge etc. But since this is not a sightseeing trip that isn't probably that important.

		This is a new pedestrian bridge that had been beset with some troubles (earlier being nicknamed the "wobbly bridge") but all that seems to have passed and it was a lovely stroll across the river to the Tate Modern.
