Don't do it unless you have to - driving in London is insane, slow and costly (congestion charges in central London and high parking fees)

If you need to park, there is a pay and display area behind the town hall (go right onto Three Colt Street after the church, and weave your way to the back of the hall), but there are no parking wardens on weekends.

The Walk From Limehouse DLR Station
Walk under the bridge to the main road and turn right (same direction as the train you were on)

With the station to your right continue, you'll see a modern red brick church also on the right, lots of inspiring modern property developments, deeply expressive embodiment of economic aspiration for local residents, then an ex-library with a statue of Clement Attlee in front of it, then you'll see Limehouse Town Hall with St Anne's (Hawksmoor) church behind it.

Go up the steps to the front door and ring 'The Boxing Club' bell to the left.
