About This Camera
Camera Location & Hazard Overview
The Limehouse Link tunnel's Westferry Road exit is covered by this camera — one of the tunnel's distinctive features, since it includes slip roads to and from Westferry Road toward the eastern end of the twin bores, adding complexity to what's otherwise a straightforward through-tunnel design.
Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends
This exit carries traffic specifically bound for the Isle of Dogs and Westferry Road area rather than continuing through to Aspen Way, with the usual 07:00–09:30 and 16:00–18:30 peaks applying. This slip road arrangement means traffic here splits from the main tunnel flow before reaching the eastern portal.
Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement
Given the complexity of this slip road arrangement, lane positioning matters more here than at the main tunnel portals, as traffic transitions from the tunnel's 30mph limit onto Westferry Road. Contesting a ticket from this stretch usually starts with a search for unauthorised parking on private property, since that's printed on the notice itself.
Road Closures & Alternative Routes
The east portal camera nearby is worth checking alongside this view, given how the two together give a fuller picture of conditions through the eastern end of the tunnel. It's worth bookmarking best roadside recovery before you drive this stretch regularly — it isn't somewhere you want to be stranded waiting for a flatbed.
Driver Safety & Local Tips
These Westferry Road slip roads were a deliberate design feature of the Limehouse Link, adding genuine engineering complexity given the need to avoid several key existing structures during construction — take care with lane positioning here if you're not familiar with the layout.
ULEZ & Emissions
The London Borough of Tower Hamlets operates entirely within the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), active 24/7. Non-compliant vehicles face a £12.50 daily charge. Western parts of the borough (e.g., around the Tower of London) fall within the Congestion Charge zone. Check tfl.gov.uk.
Parking near Limehouse Tnl HH Westferry Rd Exit, Tower Hamlets
There's no realistic kerbside parking near this tunnel exit — park just off it, in the residential streets of Poplar and the Isle of Dogs, within Tower Hamlets' Zone D CPZ, controlled Monday to Friday 8.30am to 6.30pm. The multi-storey at Chrisp Street Market or the Cabot Place car park beneath Canary Wharf both offer a reliable option nearby. Single yellows on the approach roads generally only restrict weekdays. Bank holidays suspend CPZ enforcement. towerhamlets.gov.uk/parking has the current zone map — a misjudged bay here can mean an £80-plus PCN. Not every car park here is council-run — search private parking firms to check the appeals process before you pay.
If on-street parking is hard to find, apps like JustPark and YourParkingSpace let you pre-book a private driveway or car park nearby — typically from around £2–£6 per hour or £10–£25 per day depending on how central the location is.
