"First of the descriptions of the place was very difficult to locate and I don't get it why they added photos of an university campus and the direction of address wasn't accurate. Then it stated free parking spot in the area, but I just received a parking ticket of £60 on same place with a photo of where I parked my rental car during my stay. I could have stayed at a hotel with parking spot and pay less. Maybe other customers will be okay with place, but I had a terrible experience and it's...

When is the best time to go to Royal Docks?
The Royal Docks is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit generally depends on your preferences for weather and events.

For those who enjoy milder weather and outdoor activities, late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to October) are ideal. The temperatures are pleasant, great for walking along the waterfront, enjoying a boat trip, or attending one of the many outdoor events that take place during these months. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer months, making for a more relaxed experience.

Summer (July to August) is a popular time, especially for families. The weather is at its warmest, and there's a packed calendar of events, including watersports festivals, open-air concerts, and markets. While it can be busier, the extended daylight hours mean more time to explore and enjoy the various attractions, such as the cable car over the Thames or the water park.

Winter (November to February) offers a different kind of appeal. The Royal Docks transform with festive lights and seasonal events, including Christmas markets and ice skating. While it's colder, many indoor attractions, like the museums and exhibition centres, are in full swing.
