Ibis London Docklands Canary Wharf

Affordable, Soundproof Comfort Minutes from The O2

Modern and practical, the Ibis London Docklands Canary Wharf offers concert-goers a budget-friendly base just outside the heart of London’s financial district. Located steps from Blackwall DLR Station and a short walk to Canary Wharf, this hotel combines convenience with comfort. Refurbished in 2015, all rooms come with flat-screen TVs, air-cooling, and soundproofing—perfect for a restful night after a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a 15-minute tube ride from The O2 Arena, with Blackwall Station right across the street and Canary Wharf Underground Station a 10-minute walk away. The soundproofed rooms mean you can sleep peacefully even after a loud night out, and with a 24-hour front desk plus noon check-out, there’s no rush to get up early. The location also offers easy access to late-night transport across East London.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a well-connected, affordable base
- Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime gig
- Couples planning a weekend of music and sightseeing
- Fans who want a quieter recovery space post-show
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and style

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s café-style restaurant serves a varied evening menu, perfect for pre-show bites or post-gig cravings. The bar is open late and offers a range of drinks in a relaxed setting. There’s also an all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet every morning—ideal for late risers needing to recharge after a big night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more chill than party-central, you’re a short DLR or Uber ride to the vibrant nightlife in Shoreditch or Greenwich. Canary Wharf also has an array of upscale bars and riverside lounges nearby for a more sophisticated post-concert drink.

What People Say

Guests rave about the quiet rooms despite the central location and love the easy access to public transport. The staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful, and travelers appreciate the overall cleanliness and value for money. Many mention it’s a great choice when attending concerts at The O2.

Areas for Improvement

Rooms are on the smaller side, and while there’s no luxury flair, it’s more than made up for with cleanliness and convenience. Some guests note limited dining options late at night, so it’s worth planning food ahead if you’re getting back in the early hours.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers wanting affordable comfort, great transport links, and a quiet place to crash after a show, the Ibis London Docklands Canary Wharf hits all the right notes.
