The Canary Riverside Plaza is a luxury riverside hotel on the edge of Canary Wharf, offering Thames views, a spa, and a prime location in London's second financial district. Popular with business travellers and weekend guests alike, it's easiest reached door-to-door — especially from the very close London City Airport. This guide covers transfers to the hotel from every direction.
The Canary Riverside Plaza combines a peaceful riverside setting with the convenience of Canary Wharf on the doorstep — the shops, restaurants and business towers of the estate are moments away, while the Thames-side location offers calm and views. It's a natural choice for business travellers working in the Wharf, and for leisure guests wanting a quieter luxury base with easy access to central London.

Fares include the London zone charge. London City is just a few miles away — ideal for European business arrivals. Saloon seats 4, MPV 6, 8-seaters for groups.
For guests working in the Wharf, the hotel's location is ideal — the estate's offices are within walking distance or a short ride, and a flight-tracked transfer from the airport gets business travellers to their base without navigating the DLR with luggage. Heathrow serves long-haul arrivals, while London City handles the European business routes the Wharf relies on.
What distinguishes the Canary Riverside Plaza from a typical business hotel is its setting slightly apart from the bustle of the estate, right on the water. Guests get the full convenience of Canary Wharf — its offices, shops and transport moments away — but return each evening to a calmer, river-facing retreat with a spa and Thames views. It's a combination that suits travellers who work hard by day but want to unwind properly, and it makes the hotel a popular choice for longer business stays where the difference between a functional room and a genuine sanctuary really tells. Arriving by a smooth transfer rather than dragging luggage off the DLR fits that same ethos — starting the stay as restfully as it will continue.
