Britannia International Hotel Canary Wharf

Classic Comfort Near the Beat of London

A traditional and spacious hotel in the heart of Canary Wharf, the Britannia International Hotel offers timeless comfort just a short ride from some of London’s most iconic music venues. With views over the Docklands and easy access to the Underground, it’s a convenient base for concert-goers looking to balance excitement with a peaceful night’s rest.

Why Concert-goers love it

The hotel’s location—just 10 minutes by car from the O2 Arena—makes it a top pick for fans heading to big shows. With Canary Wharf Underground Station only 1969 feet away, late-night travel back from gigs across London is surprisingly easy. The hotel’s quieter Docklands setting provides a welcome retreat after the noise and energy of a show. While check-in starts at 16:00 and check-out is by 10:00, the spacious rooms give you plenty of room to crash and recover—even if you roll in late.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for an affordable base near the action
• Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list gig at the O2
• Couples making a weekend of it with shopping, shows, and sightseeing
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space away from the crowds
• Budget-conscious music fans who want value without sacrificing location

Food and Drink Options

Jenny’s Restaurant serves up hearty British classics and cooked breakfasts—perfect after a late night. The on-site Pizzeria offers Italian cuisine, light lunches, and snacks, which are ideal for grabbing a bite before or after a show. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the hotel’s dining options stay open late enough for most post-concert cravings, and there are plenty of walkable eateries in Canary Wharf.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re close to some of East London’s best bars and lounges. The nearby Canary Wharf area has upscale cocktail bars and cozy pubs perfect for pre- or post-show drinks. If you're looking for something more low-key, the hotel offers a relaxed bar setting with local drinks and a quiet vibe.

What People Say

Guests often praise the spacious rooms, many with Docklands views, and the convenient location for events at the O2. Reviewers also like the value for money and the accessibility to public transport. The traditional style isn’t flashy, but it’s clean, comfortable, and consistent—especially for those who just need a good night’s sleep after a big show.

Areas for Improvement

WiFi in rooms is limited and not always reliable unless you upgrade. The decor is a bit dated, and check-out at 10:00 may feel early after a late night, though staff are often flexible if asked nicely. It's not a modern boutique hotel—but for the price and location, it does the job.

The Bottom Line

A solid, no-fuss choice for concert-goers who want comfort, convenience, and a great location without breaking the bank.
