  • The four-star Britannia Hotel in Canary Wharf began serving as temporary accommodation for asylum seekers in July 2025.

  • Protests erupted following the hotel’s conversion, with existing staff being laid off and replaced by agency workers.

  • Local officials expressed solidarity with migrants and condemned far-right hostility, while police maintained order.

  • Earlier unrest in Epping linked to an asylum seeker incident resulted in violent clashes and multiple arrests.
  • In Poplar and Limehouse, we are clear: refugees are welcome here. In the face of relentless demonisation and targeting, we continue to stand with migrants for their rights to safety and dignity. It’s the far-right and their hateful ideology that are not welcome here.
    Apsana Begum, MP, made this statement during the protests in Canary Wharf.
