Introduction: Located in the Docklands area (north east
corner) close to Canary Wharf is the Ibis Docklands Hotel. This places it almost
adjacent to the entrance for the Blackwall Tunnel (A102), a major crossing point
for vehicles moving from north to south of the River Thames or vice versa. The
hotel is also right by the A1262 Aspen Way dual Carriageway (a partly raised
road) which you can use to get either to London City Airport 2.5 miles to the
East of the City of London 3 miles to the West. Although this part of the
Docklands is relatively quiet there is however a McDonalds restaurant less than
200 yards from the hotel as well as local pubs. The more central parts are far
busier for shopping with a good selection of shops and restaurants within Canary
Wharf (over 200 including a river restaurant) and expanding all the time. Canada
Square is where you'll find well known landmarks such as the 800 foot high
Canary Warf Tower and is home to a growing number of international companies is
just 0.6 miles to the west. Local attractions include Billingsgate Fish Market
(0.2 miles),
O2 Millennium
Dome (0.6 miles) (visible across the water from the hotel) and the Museum of
the Docklands (0.6 miles). The major international ExCel exhibition centre is
1.6 miles to the East and the
2012 London Olympic
Stadium is 2.2 miles to the north. By train its around 30 minutes into the
centre of London and the West End.
