Accommodations close to Canary Wharf in City of London
Canary Wharf as a hotel area is dominated by large chain hotels with a bias towards the mid-range and luxury end of the market - however you can find good value hotels at weekends and during holiday periods. It is worth bearing in mind that this area is not a location where you will find many, if any, cheap budget hotels on offer.
Canary Wharf is one of the main financial areas of London and indeed the world. Restaurants, bars, shopping and other leisure facilities, many of them on waterfront positions make this a very pleasant place to stay.
Canary Wharf is directly connected to the rest of London by the Jubilee Line of the London Underground or you can choose the slower but more scenic river boat services. You can also use the DLR (Docklands Light Railway) from Tower Bridge.

Canary Wharf landmarks and attractions
The River Thames is an often-overlooked attraction in London which Canary Wharf fully embraces. The O2 arena hosts some of the biggest concerts and shows in the world and the ExCel Centre is a conference and exhibition hub in London. Billingsgate Market is located here. Greenwich is a short boat ride away across the river, home of the meridian line, Greenwich market and the Cutty Sark. It is also a short trip on the Underground to Tower of London, Tower Bridge and all that the City of London has to offer.
Guide prices for Canary Wharf accommodation
Hotel rates do tend to be volatile with local events at the O2 and exhibitions at the ExCeL centre often causing spikes in hotel room rates. The hotels are also biased towards the luxury end of the scale, catering mainly for business people. However, this does mean rates tumble at weekends and on holidays so there are bargains to be had. You can expect to pay in excess of £100 a night in most of these hotels.
