Peckham Rye stn to Canary Wharf

Need to make this journey tomorrow.

I thought there used to be a train link direct (as part of Overground line).

If not, what service(s) are people frequently making this journey using please and what changes are required, if any ?

Nat Rail Enquiries gives me nothing PR -> Canary Wharf.

OK Thanks.

London Bridge I'm not even considering as an option (unless I leave 3hrs early !)

So there IS a change required. Every additional leg is an additional exposure to delays/disputes etc.

I've become so cynical about London transportation !

Yeah, a few people here getting confused between Canada Water and Canary Wharf..


There was never a direct link to Canary Wharf. Overground has always been PR, QRP, Surrey Quays, Canada Water, Rotherhite, etc. So you need to change at Canada Water, and it can get very busy. But still a better bet than London Bridge (the trains are screwed yet again)


Have you considered cycling? (ducks, covers head...)

"Have you considered cycling? (ducks, covers head...)"


It's a one-off and currently I don't have a bike that's servicable for this short-notice appt.

However longer-term, if there was some business to do there eventually, I probably wouldn't cycle because (apart from not having the bottle to cycle across London - driving is dangerous enough !) there'd be no provision for storing clothes and wet towels/showers (ducks, covers head...).

Overground to Canada Water for Jubilee line (one stop to Canary Wharf eastbound). 20-25 minutes tops from Peckham Rye in the rush hour - you may have a 5 minute change at Canada Water if it's really busy (around about 0800-0900)


If Jubilee has delays then stay on until Shadwell and change to the DLR.


Overground is therefore your weak link but it's very reliable in my experience (as are DLR and Jubilee line).


Interestingly (or not) I as once asked by a DLR guard if I was changing at Shadwell late one evening, and he advised me not to. I've changed without incident during rush hours though and never felt unsafe.

Just realised I'm going to Canary Wharf tomorrow too.


Changing at Shadwell (short walk to different station if memory serves).


Picking up new specs, hooray :)


ETA: So yes I was probably mixing it up with Canada Water, duh.

It's my daily trek. Overground from Peckham Rye (also stops at Denmark Hill on the way here) every 15mins to Canada Water (takes about 12 mins) and then down the escalator to the Jubilee Line and one stop to Canary Wharf.


Easy peasey.


The longest I've ever had to wait at Canada Water for a tube is ten mins and three trains, but that's rare.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
