The only part of the east worth living in, is the docklands development itself.

As a former east londoner who has just moved out into Essex, Yahwe is 110% right on this one. East London is a ****ing dive.

Canary Wharf itself is a bit of a bastard to get to, only real way there is on the Jubilee line in my opinion, or by living locally.

With the kind of budget you have, I'd probably look at moving onto the Canary Wharf site proper.
