Overview
First Impressions
The Stunning Riverside View Apartment, near Canary Wharf & O2 sits on a quiet residential street in Tower Hamlets, and honestly, the name doesn’t oversell it. When I first walked into this four-star apartment, the floor-to-ceiling windows immediately caught my attention — they frame the Thames beautifully, especially during golden hour. The space feels more like a friend’s well-appointed flat than a typical hotel stay, which I actually preferred.
The Space & Layout
What struck me most was how thoughtfully laid out everything is. The living area flows naturally into a proper kitchen with full-sized appliances, not those cramped hotel kitchenettes you usually get. I mean, you could actually cook a proper meal here if you wanted to skip the restaurant scene for a night. The bedroom feels separate enough that if you’re traveling with someone, you’re not tripping over each other constantly — something you don’t always get with London accommodations.
Location Perks
Here’s what I loved about the location: you’re close enough to Canary Wharf to walk there in decent weather (about 15 minutes), but far enough away that you’re not dealing with the business district crowds every morning. The O2 is genuinely nearby — I caught a show there and the journey was surprisingly painless. Plus, there’s a Tesco just around the corner, which becomes incredibly handy when you have that full kitchen to use.
River Views & Atmosphere
The riverside views are what make this place special, honestly. I spent way too much time just watching boats go by with my morning coffee. The room gets great natural light throughout the day, and there’s something calming about having the Thames right there. Evening views are particularly nice — you get those city lights reflecting on the water without being in the thick of central London chaos.
Why Guests Love It
This place works because it gives you the best of both worlds — the independence of having your own space with the convenience of being near major attractions. The 8.2 rating makes sense when you experience it firsthand. You’re not paying premium prices for a tiny central London hotel room, but you’re still well-connected to everything you want to see. It’s the kind of place where you actually look forward to coming back at the end of the day, rather than just crashing somewhere to sleep.

"Superb"
Spacious, cozy apartment, close to east India station which facilitated easy access to central London. Not much access to clubs, however, but was a nice location regardless
What could be improved: An extra quilt or blanket would have been great for anyone that was sleeping on the sofa but that's a minor critique. Other than that, the door to the washing machine wouldn't latch but we didn't really need to use it anyway

"Beautiful space, lovely host, perfect location."
Location was perfect for anyone taking public transport. The host Bianca is an angel. She was quick to help us get our way around the apartment and any help we needed outside our apartment. She was generous to offer her help whenever we needed it. Lovely soul
What could be improved: The concierge needs to be helpful. The apartment management need to figure out a better way of getting rid of trash. If not collected twice a week, the smells are unbearable around the corridors as you enter the hallways.

"Exceptional"
The terrace is comfy, it’s got a very nice view of the river and hammock. The flat is very quiet and the beds are very comfortable. We had very nice stay. The host is very responsive and helpful in solving any problem during the stay as soon as possible, even out of usual working hours. The communication is very great. We slept very well in the flat. Would recommend to anyone.

"Very comfortable, roomy for us and had everything required for 5 days."
It was very comfortable, two bedrooms, very clean, balcony which was appreciated.
What could be improved: The location was further from Canary Wharf than we expected and whilst there was a bus it was a 10 minute walk. There was only one small shop near the apartment. The TV was not connected.
The front door was very difficult to open and the carpets in the corridors of the apartment block were very dirty and smelly.

"It's totally a pleasant stay and relaxing in the balcony overlooking the river was stunning"
The apartment offered all essential facilities and comfort for a family to relax after two hectic weeks in Europe, allowing us to do laundry with either tumbo drying or handing in provided racks in the balcony.
What could be improved: We travelled as a family of four and there were only three forks in the cutlery rack. A tad of inconvenience. The blinds did not cover the window fully and the room was well lit by the sunrise before 5PM.
