Food and Drink
Only open weekends in the summer, Giant Steps is an amazing summer venue by day, serving up a full bar and various food residencies (often BBQed) from brilliant restaurants. Great views of the canal. They also throw parties by night.

Food and drink on a barge (boat) on the canal. Voted one of East London's best places to eat. Must book in advance for food as it's quite small. Bar seats are more available, and on weekends they have BBQs outside.
