For those who are looking to enjoy East London’s old-world cultural charm, there are several well-preserved examples of 19th-century architecture throughout the city centre. Other cultural attractions include the East London Museum just off Dawson road and within walking distance from Quarry Lake Inn. Here you will find the world’s only existing Dodo egg, the Coelacanth and other geological and cultural exhibits on display. If that doesn’t interest you there is also the lion park, aquarium, and local botanical gardens.
