Dog friendly cafe - if you sit outdoors under cover. Free toilets over other side of car park. Reasonable car park about £3 for about 5 hours or so.

The pay & display car park at Canal Warf provides a starting point for walking in all directions. Walks for all abilities can be undertaken on the level and on steep paths from the Warf.
