About This Camera
Camera Location & Hazard Overview
A slip road entrance for the Limehouse Link tunnel sits here on Westferry Road — the counterpart to the nearby exit camera, allowing traffic to join the tunnel directly from Westferry Road rather than only via the main western portal on The Highway.
Traffic Pattern & Congestion Trends
This entrance carries Isle of Dogs traffic joining the tunnel toward Limehouse and the wider A13 network, at standard 07:00–09:30 and 16:00–18:30 peaks. This slip road arrangement adds a genuine local access point to what's otherwise a through-route tunnel.
Traffic Fines & Camera Enforcement
Camera enforcement covers this merge point given the volume of traffic joining from the Isle of Dogs direction, as vehicles transition from Westferry Road onto the tunnel's 30mph limit. Camera-issued tickets here reference details you'll need via penalty charge notice number for any appeal or payment.
Road Closures & Alternative Routes
If this specific entrance is affected by scheduled maintenance, current TfL notices confirm the diversion — traffic normally joining here may need to use the main western portal via The Highway instead. If your car gives up on you mid-queue, it's worth having already searched motorway breakdown assistance rather than scrambling for one roadside.
Driver Safety & Local Tips
This entrance is a genuinely useful shortcut for Isle of Dogs traffic heading toward Limehouse and beyond, avoiding the need to first reach The Highway — worth knowing if you're regularly travelling between these two areas.
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 Westferry Rd Entr, Tower Hamlets
Parking near this tunnel entrance isn't an option, so regular drivers park nearby in Poplar and the Isle of Dogs and walk the last stretch, within Tower Hamlets' Zone D CPZ, controlled Monday to Friday 8.30am to 6.30pm. The Cabot Place car park beneath Canary Wharf or the East India DLR station car park both offer a reliable option nearby. Single yellows near the shops usually allow parking after 6.30pm and on Sundays. Bank holidays suspend CPZ enforcement. towerhamlets.gov.uk/parking has the current zone map — PCNs run £80-£130, halved for early payment. If you're stung by a ticket, checking car park pay and display machines locally will tell you whether it's council or privately issued.
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.
