During the 18th century there was a tradition, that on the first Friday in July, a large number of East Enders would travel to Fairlop to eat a meal of bacon and beans beneath as well as partake in general celebrations beneath an ancient oak tree. By the 1750s it was estimated that over 100,000 people could be expected to attend. The original oak blew down in 1820 and the celebration declined, perhaps as a result of licensing laws. The New Fairlop Oak was planted in 1951 and sits in the middle of Fullwell Cross roundabout. The building behind is the Fullwell Cross library.
Nearest station: Fairlop.

Park Plaza London Riverbank

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

President Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was just as it always is very clean very efficient very welcoming which is very important. The reception staff helped me a couple of times for which I was very appreciative. Enjoy the food in the restaurant and a lovely glass of wine with very glad to see you had white Zinfandel from California. I have sent an email about the dreadful experience I had with the minicab driver that you arranged for me I think it was with comfort cabs. You might be worried of letting anybody else go with that company and maybe find a different one. I was really quite afraid in the back of that cab."

Mason & Fifth - Westbourne Park

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel - soon to become a favourite in London. It’s close to Paddington so easy to get the Heathrow express. Lovely spacious room with a kitchen. Lots of activities (like movie nights and yoga) if you feel like meeting up with people and being social. Friendly backpacker type vibe but more luxury and elegance. There’s even a laundry with free washing machines and dryers - even the detergent was free. Only downside was that the pool and spa were closed for maintenance and that was something I really wanted to use after long haul flights."
