Busload of Migrants Moved Into London’s Britannia Hotel Amid Government Accommodation Plan (VIDEO)

In the early hours of Saturday morning, a group of migrants arrived at the Britannia International Hotel in Canary Wharf, London, under the cover of darkness.

The group — consisting entirely of men — was seen disembarking from a bus, carrying brown envelopes and dressed predominantly in dark clothing. Footage of their arrival has since circulated widely on social media, sparking public interest and debate.

The Government has confirmed that the four-star Britannia Hotel is being repurposed as a temporary accommodation site for asylum seekers. This move is part of an ongoing effort to address the pressures on the UK’s asylum system by utilizing available hotel spaces for short-term housing.

Tower Hamlets Council, the local authority responsible for the area, acknowledged the Government’s decision and emphasized the importance of ensuring proper support for the new residents. A council spokesperson said:

“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.”

Last month, the hotel drew media attention as protests erupted outside its premises. Demonstrators voiced concerns about the suitability of housing asylum seekers in high-end hotels and questioned the transparency surrounding the Government’s decision-making process.

Nonetheless, plans have moved forward, with local authorities now focused on ensuring community safety and access to essential services for those seeking refuge.

The development highlights ongoing tensions in the UK’s approach to immigration and asylum policy, as well as the challenges of balancing humanitarian responsibilities with public concerns. With more arrivals expected and further accommodations being considered across the country, the spotlight remains firmly on how the Government and local councils manage the integration and welfare of those seeking safety on British soil.
