About University of East London

The University of East London is a university in London and Barking. It draws students, staff and visitors to its campuses in the east of the city, an area shaped by the Royal Docks and the ExCeL exhibition centre. The university is part of a district that has seen major regeneration, with the Docklands Light Railway and Elizabeth line improving access. People visit for graduations, open days, conferences and research collaborations, and many stay in the surrounding Docklands hotels. The wider area mixes modern waterfront developments with older residential streets, and central London is a short train ride away.

  • The Docklands Light Railway is the quickest way between the Royal Docks hotels and the university; contactless payment is accepted on all services.
  • For early flights from London City Airport, choose a hotel in the Royal Docks and allow extra time for check-in, as the airport is a short taxi ride from most listed properties.
