Guests with prior bookings at the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf were turned away without warning on Tuesday after the U.K. Home Office acquired the property to accommodate asylum seekers.
Footage circulating online showed foreign tourists being denied entry at the door, while security guards were seen posted behind locked glass doors.
Major hotel booking platforms have since suspended reservations for the four-star hotel, located in one of London’s wealthiest areas.
A spokesperson for Tower Hamlets Council confirmed the rumors on Tuesday evening, stating, “We are aware of the government’s decision to use the Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf to provide temporary accommodation for asylum seekers. It is important that the government ensures that there is a full package of support for those staying at the hotel. We are working with the Home Office and partners to make sure that all necessary safety and safeguarding arrangements are in place.”

Police officers were also stationed outside the hotel entrance amid a heightened security presence.
The Home Office denied speculation that the move was linked to unrest in Epping, where hundreds of protesters gathered outside another hotel last week in response to the arrest of an asylum seeker accused of multiple sexual offenses.
Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, a 41-year-old Ethiopian migrant who arrived in the U.K. by boat on June 29, was arrested on charges including three counts of sexual assault and one count of inciting a girl to engage in sexual activity.
The allegations sparked protests outside the Bell Hotel in Epping, where asylum seekers are being housed. What began as a gathering of concerned local families, with chants of “Protect our kids,” escalated into violent scenes as self-proclaimed anti-fascist activists arrived and riot police were deployed. Bottles were thrown, and video footage showed a protester appearing to be struck by a police van that subsequently drove away without stopping.
Essex Police initially denied reports that they had escorted the counter-protesters to the site, but reversed their position after video evidence surfaced, The Telegraph reported on Tuesday evening. Assistant Chief Constable Stuart Hooper confirmed that officers had accompanied Stand Up to Racism activists to the hotel, saying: “We have a reasonable duty to protect people who want to exercise their rights. Officers took all factors into account before making their decisions.”

The ongoing unrest has attracted national political attention. The Times reported that Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has called for urgent action to avoid further outbreaks of unrest, reportedly telling his left-wing cabinet it was vital to repair Britain’s “social fabric” and manage the social impacts of immigration more effectively. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner acknowledged that migration was having a “profound impact on society” and stressed the need to confront “real concerns” about rapid demographic changes.
This rhetoric, however, is contradicted by Labour’s actions in its first year in office, with illegal immigration continuing at a considerable pace across the English Channel, and legal immigration still operating at astronomical levels.
Reform U.K. leader Nigel Farage, whose party is currently polling ahead of Labour, strongly defended the Epping demonstrators. Speaking to The Times, he said: “Do I understand how people in Epping feel? You bet your life I do… Don’t underestimate the simmering anger and disgust that there is in this country that we are letting in every week, in fact, some days, many hundreds of undocumented young males, many of whom come from cultures in which women and young girls are not even treated as second-class citizens.”
Farage also criticized the presence of masked counter-protesters, questioning why groups like Antifa are allowed to operate while others are swiftly labeled far-right. “Most of the people outside that hotel in Epping weren’t far-right or anything like that. They were just genuinely concerned families,” he said.
“I don’t think anybody in London even understands just how close we are to civil disobedience on a vast scale in this country,” he warned.

Luxury hotels for boat people in Canary Wharf? Why not!

Just now, I was cycling home through a pleasant suburb of London. Taking in the buildings, I thought how generations of Britons before me had designed such pleasant urban areas and had, for the subsequent two centuries or so, inhabited them. They are buildings made from English bricks, from Sheffield steel, with British hands.
Almost the entirety of what we value around us was built by those born in these isles and whose lineages here extend through the ages. This is not to say no foreigner never contributed – of course they did – but the bulk of effort is and was ours.
It is, naturally, trendy for immigrants and their descendants to claim that they ‘built’ the UK. The Windrush lot may be responsible for many an enduring legacy (thanks for the grime music), but many centuries of British history rather suggests we were doing fine before they turned up. Rather, it seems, things are starting to fragment through a surfeit of foreigners.
One wonders how long it will take for the more recently arrived to claim similar things. Listening to Humza Yousaf – a man born in Lanarkshire but whose heart resides in sandier climes – such a process is already underway. Recently he took to social media that to claim, in an almost Life Of Brian fashion, that our Muslim friends invented everything from coffee to clocks, and much more in between.
It is in such a mind that I am reminded of Mark Steyn’s observation a while ago that the West, collectively, was in the process of giving away the most valuable real estate – monetarily, culturally, architecturally – in the whole of human history to a gang of third-world gimmegrants whose own countries are, but for a smattering of colonial buildings, generally shack-like.
Canary Wharf may be many things – crass, a symbol to the Money God, boring – but it is the antithesis of a few muddy huts with corrugated steels roofs. Compared to small-town Afghanistan, ‘chalk and cheese’ does not quite do it justice.
It is the kind of place that only a few civilisations under very specific conditions could even dream to achieve, given the capital, skills and planning necessarily. More crucially, its mere name invokes the idea of wealth, progress and capitalism, having been constructed in an age of economic optimism and housing many of world’s largest financial firms.
Yet, we live in less optimistic times. Vacancies in Canary Wharf’s offices are high and our economy sluggish. The era of Canary Wharf’s apogee was a different world – the peak of Western dominance. Embracing a slew of negative, nihilistic policies, it stands as a monument to another age.
Nothing better can demonstrate this than the imminent arrival of hundreds of ‘asylum seekers’ into the area. People whose first taste of the UK should be a policeman’s truncheon followed by a swift deportation are to be housed in a hotel, and to be provided, in the Government’s words, ‘a full package of support.’ What should be the housing of travelling bankers and salesmen is given over to a ragged crew of foreign chancers.
One is reminded of barbarians living amid the ruins of Rome, not understanding the magnificence of what surrounded them. Busying themselves with feeding chickens in the shadows of amphitheatres, temples and aqueducts, they had no cause to think of how such constructions came to be. They could merely live off that which was bequeathed by those too fragmented and indifferent to defend what they had.
The outrage at the move of foreign criminals – for they break the law upon entering the country illegal – is wholly justified. It has replaced last week’s obscene revelation that the Establishment crooks in charge of our country had been secretly importing thousands of Afghans. Such is the rapid turnover of diabolical policies enacted by the Government that it is impossible to remain focused on one.
It is like someone going through your house and smashing things up with a baseball bat in front of you. While each new obliteration of a family heirloom distracts you from the last, the general sense of boiling anger only increases.
This, I think, is the only positive to draw. The general sense of fury is growing palpably. We are reaching a point where the demand of the state – that you should not notice the destruction being wrought right before your eyes – is becoming too intolerable.
Yet, the political system is not equipped to deal with this issue. Obviously the Establishment parties have long been discredited, but there is little reason to believe that Reform has the required courage to deal with the many festering pustules wrecking the health of the body politick.
But let us take heart that, at least, the mood is beginning to shift. The Establishment has turned up the heat too quickly in the proverbial boiling of the frog.
