Today the Forest View Hotel would probably say its close proximity to the massive Westfield shopping centre in Stratford city (1 mile) and Stratford international terminal (1.2 miles) as two of its big attractions. Of course the hotel makes a useful base for east London and sits on a major arterial route in the A118 which takes you into the City of London (financial district) to the west or out to the M25 (3.5 miles) to the east. Guests staying here will not normally be using it as a stopover for the most central tourist areas in the heart of London which is some 7 miles to the east from here but will possibly want to be close to the Docklands/Canary Wharf districts which are only 3 miles from here or maybe even City Airport which is a similar distance. Places of interest locally include New Spitalfields market (1.7 miles), London Gas Museum (1.9 miles) and East Ham Nature Reserve (2.3 miles). Nearest stations are the Network rail station of Forest Gate and the London Overground Station (links with tube network) of Wanstead Park (0.5 miles). The tube network gets you into central London within fifteen minutes. Very near the Forest View Hotel is a 23 hour bus stop.
