London’s Eastside offers everything you need to host a 

successful event. The transformation of the area East of 

Tower Bridge has created an ‘events district’ offering not 

only the facilities at ExCeL London but fantastic new hotels, 

excellent transport links and a real variety of social and

situated alongside over 200 shops, bars and restaurants.

the Royal Observatory. By contrast, Greenwich is also the location 

for the World’s leading entertainment destination – the iconic O 2 . 

Preparations for the London 2012 Olympic Games are well 

underway, with the Olympic Park itself being constructed less 

than half mile to the north ExCeL London.

Royal Docks Business School (UEL) 

The University of East London (UEL) is a global 

learning community with over 23,000 students 

from over 120 countries world-wide. 

Our vision is to achieve recognition, both nationally and 

internationally, as a successful and inclusive regional university 

proud of its diversity, committed to new modes of learning which 

focus on students and enhance their employability, and renowned 

for our contribution to social, cultural and economic development, 

especially through our research and scholarship. We have a strong 

track-record in widening participation and working with industry. 

The University of East London launched its BA Events 

Management degree programme in 2007 and it has already 

become one of the most popular courses in the Royal Docks 

Business School. Our students come from a diverse mix of 

backgrounds and many have previous experience of working in 

the events industry and related fields. 

Many are pro-active and are not averse to rolling up their sleeves 

and getting their hands dirty. Equally, they appear to relish the 

opportunity to explore new opportunities and to accept additional 

responsibility, and are often capable of working with limited or no 

supervision. 

We actively promote the benefits of gaining practical, hands-on 

experience during their studies as we understand that this type of 

experience is vital in an increasingly competitive marketplace. 

A number of students have worked as temporary events staff at 

events staged at ExCeL London on an ad-hoc basis and we would 

welcome any similar opportunities or more formal arrangements. 

With this in mind, we are proposing to introduce a series of 

work-based learning modules where students can evaluate their 

experience and skills in the work environment and attain credit 

towards their programme of study. 

If you have an event or opportunity where you wish to discuss 

the possibility of UEL students assisting with the planning and 

delivery stages, please contact Mark Watson.

since the 1990s. 

We have a great seating area overlooking the dock at the front of

glass skyscrapers looming above. As the name suggests, the docks 

here used to unload ships from the Caribbean and the restaurant 

was once a sugar warehouse, built in the early 19th century by 

Napoleonic prisoners of war. It has preserved a very distinctive 

atmosphere as a place where old meets new with grace. And

now take bookings at lunchtimes Monday to Friday for any number 

of guests as well as a selection of large parties in the evenings and 

weekends. You can also now book online twenty-four hours a day or 

contact the restaurant direct. 

186 covers inside 

52 outside terrace 

When Jamie’s Italian was first conceived, the starting point was to 

re-create what Italians are most proud of - fantastic, rustic dishes, 

using recipes that have been tried, tested and loved! Jamie talks 

about “feeling Italian” and in Gennaro Contaldo, we can tap into 

real thing. A great mentor for our young chefs and someone who, 

as a boy growing up in a tiny fishing village on the Amalfi coast, 

learned how simple, fresh ingredients, prepared and cooked with love 

and passion (a phrase he uses every day - and means!) become truly 

great dishes. 

So of course we wanted to serve exceptional food. But our aim was 

also to create an environment with a “neighbourhood” feel, inspired 

by the “Italian table” where people relax, share, and enjoy each 

other’s company. Jamie’s Italian was designed to be accessible and 

affordable, a place where anyone is welcome and everyone will feel 

comfortable, no matter how much you spend or how long you stay. 

Whether you’re a regular at Jamie’s in Canary Wharf or it’s your first 

time we hope you do and will get to experience the love and passion 

that we all feel for our restaurants on a daily basis.

overlooking the Canary Wharf quay side, Manhattan 

Grill offers the ultimate steakhouse experience for

wet-aged USDA prime Black Angus from Creekstone Kansas, and 

dry-aged Scottish cuts from Inverurie – the birthplace of the 

legendary Aberdeen Angus steak. These prime meats are 

individually cut and freshly cooked on our authentic Montague 

Broiler in our open kitchen. You’d be hard pushed to find a better 

steak anywhere in Canary Wharf.
