PLANS for a 252-room hotel on the edge of Canary Wharf have been given the go-ahead.
Tower Hamlets council gave the green light for the empty site in West India Dock Road to be transformed into a part three, four and 16-storey building.

And the Atich Group which is behind the plans says the development will provide around 150 jobs for young people.
