2 bed O2-Canary Wharf-Excel- in 30 mins London boat ride – 30 Mins Contractors-Families-Corporate people- Wifi 500mb-Flex CheckIn-Shops-Train Station

First Impressions

Look, I’ll be honest — the name 2 bed O2-Canary Wharf-Excel- in 30 mins London boat ride – 30 Mins Contractors-Families-Corporate people- Wifi 500mb-Flex CheckIn-Shops-Train Station is quite a mouthful, but it actually tells you everything you need to know. This three-star apartment setup in Wick Tower doesn’t mess around with fancy marketing — it’s all about practical living for people who need a proper base in London without the central city price tag.

Location & Getting Around

You know what surprised me about Woolwich? It’s actually got this great mix of old and new going on, and you’re genuinely well-connected to everything that matters. The Thames Clipper boat service from Woolwich Arsenal Pier is honestly one of London’s best-kept secrets — that 30-minute ride to Canary Wharf beats the Tube hands down, especially during rush hour. Plus, you’ve got the DLR and National Rail right there, so getting to Excel or anywhere else in London is straightforward enough.

The Space

The two-bedroom setup works really well if you’re traveling with family or colleagues — I mean, having separate bedrooms makes such a difference when you’re staying for more than just a night or two. The kitchen is properly equipped (not just a sad little kitchenette situation), which matters when you want to grab groceries instead of eating out every single meal. That 500mb wifi actually delivers, which shocked me since most places promise fast internet and then give you something that barely loads your emails.

Practical Perks

The flexible check-in thing isn’t just marketing speak — they actually make it work, which is brilliant if you’re flying in at odd hours or your plans change. There’s decent shopping right in the area, and honestly, the local Sainsbury’s and other shops mean you’re not trekking across London just to buy basics. The whole building feels secure and well-maintained, which you appreciate when you’re staying somewhere new.

Why Guests Love It

This place really hits the sweet spot for people who want London access without London accommodation prices. Contractors love it because the internet actually works and there’s space to spread out, families appreciate having a proper room for the kids, and corporate travelers get the flexibility they need without paying hotel rates for extended stays. That 9.3 rating makes sense when you see how the basics are done right — it’s not trying to be something fancy, just a solid base that delivers on its promises.

Locals suggest to book apartments in London around South Bank for riverside dining, market stops, and easy city crossings.
