Transport in Canary Wharf
Our Services in Canary Wharf
Canary Wharf is one of London’s two main financial districts, with banks, law firms, media and technology companies clustered around One Canada Square, the Jubilee Park and the water of the old West India Docks. The Elizabeth line links it directly to the City, the West End and Heathrow, while London City Airport and ExCeL London are close by to the east.
Covent Group Travel provides executive chauffeur cars and group transport for Canary Wharf businesses and visitors. Send your requirements and the team will confirm a quote and availability.
OVERVIEW
Transport Built Around the Business Day
Canary Wharf runs on tight schedules: early flights from City Airport, client meetings in the Square Mile, and late finishes that leave staff looking for a safe ride home. We offer executive chauffeur services, corporate travel and shuttle services to support the working day.
Because the estate has its own road layout and managed access, we confirm set-down and pickup points for each building when the booking is made.
We also handle occasional bookings, such as a single client collection from City Airport or a car home after a late deal closing, so you do not need a regular account to enquire.
City Airport runs
Short transfers to and from London City Airport.
Late finishes
Evening transport home for staff working late.
EXECUTIVE CHAUFFEUR
S-Class and E-Class for Financial District Travel
Senior executives and visiting clients often need a car that can make a quick run to the City or a longer journey to Heathrow while they work. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class provides a quiet space for calls, and the E-Class is an efficient choice for day-to-day business journeys.
Where a day involves several meetings, hourly or full-day hire keeps the car available. Share the itinerary and the team will confirm what can be arranged.
Personal assistants and travel bookers can send requests on behalf of executives. Include the passenger name, mobile number and any meeting addresses so the team can prepare an accurate quote.
AIRPORT TRANSFERS
Close to London City, Connected to Every Airport
London City Airport's single terminal sits a short drive east of Canary Wharf, making it a natural choice for European business trips. Stansted is reached via the A12 and M11, and Heathrow and Gatwick are longer journeys across London, often best planned with generous margins in the peaks.
Our airport transfers cover all five London airports. Share your flight details when you enquire, and meet-and-greet can be requested for arriving guests.
For travellers using the Elizabeth line, Canary Wharf also has a direct rail link to Heathrow, but a car remains the simpler option for heavy luggage or early departures.

CORPORATE & HOTEL
Staff Shuttles and Hotel Transfers
Companies in Canary Wharf sometimes need recurring transport, such as a corporate staff shuttle between offices, or transfers between the estate and a rail hub. We can quote for regular schedules once we understand the route, timings and passenger numbers.
Hotels on and around the estate welcome business travellers throughout the week. Our hotel transfers cover airport arrivals, departures and journeys to meetings across London.
Typical shuttle routes include Canary Wharf to Liverpool Street, Stratford or London City Airport. Tell us the stops you have in mind and the team will advise on vehicle size.
PICKUP INFORMATION
Getting Around the Estate
Canary Wharf's roads are privately managed, with many buildings served by lay-bys, lower-level roads or dedicated drop-off areas. When booking, give the building name or number and the reception you will leave from, and we will confirm the meeting point.
The estate is linked to the A13 and the Limehouse Link tunnel, which connect it to the City and to the east. Expect heavier traffic around the Westferry and Preston's Road roundabouts at rush hour.
If your guests are arriving by Elizabeth line or Jubilee line, tell us which station they are using and we can agree a nearby meeting point.
TRAVEL PLANNING
Planning Journeys From Canary Wharf
For early flights or important meetings, build in a buffer for the weekday peaks on the A13 and around the Blackwall Tunnel approach. During large ExCeL events, roads around the Royal Docks get busier, which can affect City Airport journeys too.
If you are arranging transport for a team or a recurring schedule, the more detail you share upfront, the more accurate the quote. Start with our booking enquiry.
For overseas visitors, sending the hotel name and flight number in one message helps us plan both legs of the trip together.
