Crowne Plaza London Docklands, an IHG Hotel ****

💎 Indoor pool, steam room and a glass of cava in a 4-star Docklands address. This is London in waterfront mode: wide-open docks, mirrored towers and a rare sense of breathing space once the City pace drops off. You get 2 hours inside the Quad Club & Spa, with access to the heated pool, hot tub, sauna, hammam and fully equipped gym, all wrapped in a low-key contemporary atmosphere.
