Traveling by train for sustainable MICE trips to London

East London by Eurostar : remote work & city vibes

Sustainable travel is one of the travel trends for 2025. Choosing a destination that supports remote working and also embraces eco-friendly travel practices is therefore a big plus. London is such a destination, and East London in particular. Why? Let our trusted partner Cashel Travel inspire you to organize a remote working trip… by train!

Work on the go

East London fits the sustainable travel trend, offering both a productive work environment and a variety of cultural experiences for your clients. The convenience of Eurostar’s direct train connections to London makes it an easy option for corporate travelers. It allows you to reduce your carbon footprint and to work on the go, while enjoying the scenic route from Amsterdam to the heart of London city. The smooth train journey lets you stay connected and makes it easy to blend business and leisure. Onboard you can comfortably use your laptop, do calls or work on a presentation while the train takes you to your destination.

From Shoreditch to Sunday flowers

Are you a travel agent or a booker planning business trips or MICE events abroad? There are various reasons to consider East London as one of your next destinations. East London offers the perfect combination of business opportunities, cultural attractions, green city areas and eco-conscious options. Imagine yourself wandering the vibrant streets of Shoreditch in the early hours, or looking for a late-night bus back to the hotel after visiting a traditional beer café or trendy ping-pong bar. Here you will find quirky hybrid businesses (think art-gallery-meets-barber-shop), but also the finest museums, markets, restaurants, and green spaces. How about the Spitalfields Market, where you will find a mix of boutique shopping, artisan food stalls and designer brands. Or the fancy, hidden rooftop bar at Netil360 (London Fields) with panoramic views of East London.

In addition, East London is home to a couple of classic London experiences, like the iconic, late-night bagels on Brick Lane, full English breakfasts, and the lively Columbia Road Flower Market — a must visit on any Sunday morning in London.

Remote working spots in East London

East London is full of great remote working spots, making it possible to get things done while enjoying the unique London city vibe. For example The Book Club in Shoreditch, which offers a relaxed, creative environment with plenty of space, delicious coffee, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Alternatively, The Brew Coffee Company in Dalston, a cozy spot with a laid-back atmosphere, perfect for productivity. For a more artistic vibe go to Tanner & Co. in Bermondsey, which offers a creative space with good food and Wi-Fi, ideal for brainstorming sessions or solo working hours. Another unique place for remote working is Look Mum No Hands! – a cycling café on Old Street with great coffee, workspaces and a friendly atmosphere.

Time for a break

East London has lots of options to recharge your batteries. Take a stroll through Victoria Park, one of the area’s largest and most beautiful green spaces. Have a coffee at the park’s café or take the time to read a book by the lake. The Whitechapel Gallery is a contemporary art hub where you can enjoy exciting exhibits, clear your mind for a bit and get inspired at the same time. If you are looking for more active breaks, walk along the Regent’s Canal – a peaceful escape and a chance to explore the creative culture and nearby street art. The same for Hackney Wick & Fish Island – a creative hub filled with street art, independent breweries and waterside cafes.
