CANARY RIVERSIDE PLAZA HOTEL, LONDON

Built on the historic site of the West India Quay, the bustling centre for Britain’s spice trade hundreds of years ago, Canary Riverside Plaza Hotel stretches up into the shimmering skyline of vibrant London. More than just an elegant five-star hotel, Canary Riverside Plaza offers a sophisticated modern venue in the business hub of bustling Canary Wharf, alongside corporates, designer shops and towering skyscrapers located a stone’s throw away.

The elegant and cultured Hotel is independently operated, so is free from the restrictions of the ‘big brand’ approach to hospitality. Unlike most London hotels, the Canary Riverside Plaza is also a haven of tranquillity, making it a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The Hotel offers three excellent event spaces, the largest being the resplendent Ballroom, which is one of the best options for venue hire in the Capital. With its airy feel, delightful tree-themed artwork and large windows overlooking the River Thames, the Ballroom makes an inspiring space for meetings, presentations, conferences, weddings and private parties. With the ability to split the room in two, it’s also ideally suited to host smaller events.

The Hotel is an upliftingly unique and contemporary setting for corporate gatherings, social events, weddings or private dinners. The three well-equipped events spaces are set across the mezzanine level and first floor of the hotel. The exquisite Ballroom, City Room and River Room all offer fantastic river or city views, whilst a useful pre-function area is also provided for guests to gather beforehand.

As you might imagine from its name, the floor to ceiling windows of the River Room offer an excellent view over the River Thames, making it a splendid space for medium-sized events. Alternatively, flooded with natural light, the third available area for hire is the City Room, which is well suited to smaller events.

Canary Riverside Plaza, with its incredible views of the Thames, is also an ideal venue for weddings. Standard Ruby, Diamond and Sapphire packages are on offer or, if preferred, a bespoke package can be put together to perfectly suit the happy couple.

The Canary Riverside Plaza Hotel is excellently positioned to explore Canary Wharf or to travel into central London by train or even, given the Hotel’s stunning location next to the river, by boat. Canary Wharf underground station (on the Jubilee line) is a 10-minute walk away, whilst the Docklands Light Railway station of the same name is just five minutes by foot. Perhaps most interestingly of all, Canary Wharf Pier is just a two-minute walk away and provides access to the Thames Clipper Boat, which can provide a fascinating journey for guests into central London or the West End.

The White Room is The Bluebird’s newest private event space – a flexible open area available for dry hire. It’s gorgeous leafy lighting effects combine superbly with a sparking dance floor to provide a fantastic airy and contemporary venue for parties and other occasions.
