Don't drive in London. Not worth it!!!!
Take the train down, you can get everywhere either by bus or tube.
And there's always walking. They did a thing a few nights ago on the news about how Londoners never walk and take tubes for silly journeys.
Last night I put this to the test. Had dinner @ Covent Garden, needed to go to the Royal Festival Hall. Was planning on tubing it (would have allowed
25 mins for it), walked it in 12!!!! London is not that big!!
Driving around the Docklands is a pain in the arse. I tried driving there once. Never again. Major traffic jams and congestion due to the Rotherhide
tunnel.
The only thing you have to be careful of is if you're using the Docklands Light Railway they don't run as late as the tube (or they
didn't used to!)....
It's worth using Transport for London website to work out your journey in advance. Also, some of the Docklands is a bit dead late at night-
you'll probably want to go more into the centre....

When I used to look after a site by Marble Arch I used to regularly park my battered van between a mint DB5 and a Lambo 
I quite enjoy driving in London, but probably only because I drive a) a big white van I don't pay to repair, and b) like a c***. There's
almost different 'rules' in London, everyone does it and so everyone expects it and doesn't get as annoyed at being cut up as people
elsewhere might. I actually get far more annoyed by blithering idiots on motorways than I ever have in London
