Local tips for Docklands drop-offs

Canary Wharf’s corporate buildings have specific loading and drop-off points — provide the building name or company entrance for the smoothest handover. If you need a drop at Canary Wharf station (Jubilee Line/DLR), let us know the entrance for convenience.

For tight meeting times, allow a small buffer for rush-hour traffic on the M25 and A13. We also provide combined routes and return transfers if you’re continuing to the City or Heathrow.

Dropping off at Canary Wharf

Canary Wharf is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so that charge does not arise here. Whatever charges apply on your route, the Congestion Charge included, they are already inside the fixed fare we quote you. You never pay them separately to the driver.

The office towers

Most have managed drop-off points, and security will direct your driver. Give us the building name when you book.

Underground and private roads

A lot of the estate is privately managed with controlled access, so your driver may set you down at a designated point rather than the door.

The hotels

Those on the estate have proper forecourts and are straightforward with luggage.

Wood Wharf and the newer residential blocks

Access varies. The exact address genuinely helps here.

Cancellations need at least 24 hours' notice to be eligible for a refund, and refunds are subject to a £7 or 10% administration fee, whichever is higher. No refund is issued where notice is under 24 hours, or where the passenger does not show up. To cancel, email or call us and wait for written confirmation; until you have that, the booking still stands.
