Canary Riverside Plaza Hotel Chauffeur Service

Canary Riverside Plaza Hotel sits on the Thames at Westferry Circus — the western tip of the Isle of Dogs, where the river bends and the views across to Greenwich begin. The hotel is a short walk from Canary Wharf's financial towers and from the DLR connections that link the Wharf to London City Airport (6 minutes) and the City of London. It has long been a preferred address for financial services professionals visiting Canary Wharf's banks and investment firms who want a hotel within the Docklands estate rather than a commute from central London.

Canary Wharf's road access is more complex than most London business districts — the island is connected to the north bank by a limited number of entry and exit points. Knowing the correct approach is important for on-time arrivals, particularly during peak Wharf commuting hours (7:30am–9am and 5pm–7pm). Imperial Ride drivers are familiar with the Westferry Circus approach, the Billingsgate tunnel route alternative, and the correct loading point at the hotel's riverside frontage.

Arrival & Pick-Up at Canary Riverside Plaza

01
Drop-off

Your chauffeur approaches via the A1203 Westferry Road and follows the Westferry Circus roundabout to the hotel entrance at Westferry Circus, E14 8RR.

02
Pick-up during peak hours

Morning peak (7:30am–9am) around Canary Wharf can create delays on Westferry Road and at Limehouse Link.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does my chauffeur wait at Canary Riverside Plaza Hotel?
Your driver positions at the hotel entrance on Westferry Circus, E14 8RR, following the Westferry Circus roundabout approach from the A1203. The hotel has a riverside access road that connects to the roundabout. Your driver will text when in position at the hotel entrance. For peak-hour pick-ups, we position ten minutes before your confirmed time to account for the Westferry Road approach traffic.
Canary Wharf can be gridlocked at peak hours — how do you manage morning departures?
Morning peak on the Isle of Dogs (7:30am–9am) is the most congested in Docklands — Westferry Road, the Limehouse Link approach, and the Blackwall Tunnel are all affected simultaneously. For flights or meetings with fixed times, we recommend departing 15–20 minutes earlier than the standard calculation. For London City Airport, we use the Rotherhithe approach via the A200 as an alternative when Westferry Road is slow. Tell us your destination when booking and we will plan the optimal exit route.
What is the journey from Canary Riverside Plaza to London City Airport for an early morning flight?
London City Airport is six miles east via the A1020 Royal Docks Road. Before 7am, the journey typically takes 18–22 minutes. Between 7am and 9am, allow 25–35 minutes as the A1020 and Airport Way carry eastbound commuter traffic. We recommend departing 75 minutes before your check-in closes. Your driver monitors your flight status and adjusts the pick-up time if your departure is delayed or rescheduled overnight.
