Welcome to Four Seasons Hotel Canary Wharf. With its spectacular riverfront setting and ultramodern towers, Canary Wharf is London’s newest financial centre. Right on the River Thames at Westferry Circus, the Hotel combines the finest of all that is contemporary with the traditions that are Four Seasons.

"The 142-room Four Seasons Hotel Canary Wharf was one of the first hotels in revitalized Docklands area. Delivering the requisite Four Seasons essentials - oversized rooms (by London standards), black walnut accents, swank bathrooms and deferential service - the location is quiet and relaxed compared to the frenzy of hotels sitting in the heart of London…" www.travelagewest.com, June 26, 2008 

At the Quilon, our philiosophy is simple. Our aim is to convey our passion for South Indian coastal cusine in a way which gives you a perspective on our quest for perfect ingredients, technique, and a deep-seated desire to continue learning and evolving through old traditions and modern tastes. There is a real thirst for home-style Indian cusine outside of India; we know this because we have seen it and felt it. Our ethos demands that we not only satisfy this need, but that we work to ensure that this is done without compromising on the foundation of this cuisine, and the love of food, and feeding others, which drives it. The Quilon’s menu embodies a unique blend of ethnic and progressive dishes. Our restaurant is renowned as the home of traditional home-style South Indian cusine, but we recognise that the most important way that we can convey our love for what we do, is to have fun whilst doing it. We will always experiment with our combination of modern and traditional. There’s no magic recipe, but we know what works. After a visit to The Quilon, we hope that that you feel the same way

It’s hard to define what makes Threadneedles boutique hotel so special. Perhaps it’s the smooth warmth of walnut walls against the cool blonde of a marble floor. Maybe it’s the oh-so-deep pile of an oriental carpet that’s a contemporary work of art in its own right. Or possibly it’s the breathtaking beauty of light filtering through a Nineteenth Century dome of stained glass. Most likely it’s not one, but a combination of all these ingredients and more. For the Victorian banking hall turned city boutique hotel is nothing if not a multitude of textures and complementary tones, a perfect blend of past and present.
