What are some of the general tips for travellers to East London during the COVID-19 outbreak?

COVID-19 may have changed how we travel, but it hasn't dampened our eagerness for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to cope with the new challenges of travelling: Look into the rules and restrictions in both your origin and destination. It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so don't forget to check before you book your flight. When you go through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Those who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied boarding. Instead of handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it directly on the reader yourself. When that's done, hold it up for inspection. You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be removed for screening. To reduce handling during screening, place items such as your phone, coins and keys into your carry-on rather than the bins. Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to handle and inspect your belongings.

The beverage area was dusty. You could see the dusts on the mirror shelving unit.So we know this room has not been cleaned for awhile. There was no lotion provided as well which was different from all the 4 hotels we have stayed in while in London, Sheffield and Bath. We expected better on the reataurant for it was highly rated but was disappointed. One of our orders were the Madras Beef Curry and that meal was just not worth it. Such a mediocre Indian cuisine with no touch of love on the dish. I would say this meal will not even pass for 5gbp and it was 19.95. Not worth your money at all. The rest of our orders are ok specially the fish and chips and Calamari was good. The attendants and service were good too. Thank you.

Man at reception was really helpful. Helped carry out bags from car to our room and showed us in. Don't really have anything negative to say about the room. We got it real cheap and it was OK for what we paid. It was just to sleep, after a London concert and saved me driving home. Did the job. Nothing ...
