Canary Wharf is an area of London, England, located near the Isle of Dogs in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

Canary Wharf is a thriving urban hub consisting of apartment living, retail space for shops, café's and bars and all year round events and exhibitions.

There is much more to this area than just high-rise offices, with a long history, continual redevelopment, plus tons of shopping and leisure options.

● Canary Wharf is an iconic part of London's skyline and, while it might be better known as the glass and steel headquarters of London's global financial centre, in the past decade it's also become one of the Capital’s most coveted neighbourhoods. After the glitch that was the property crash of the early 1990s, the transition from derelict ex industrial docks to a thriving business and residential quarter is complete. The area has been helped by excellent travel links – the DLR and Jubilee Line takes you into the City and West End in 10 to 15 minutes, and are two of the most salubrious modes of public transport in London. The newly opened Canary Wharf Elizabeth line station provides swift connections to Liverpool Street in six minutes, Paddington in 17 minutes, and London Heathrow in 45 minutes.

With the introduction of Wood Wharf, Canary Wharf's new residential neighbourhood, Canary Wharf and its surroundings are now home not only to billion pound businesses, but also a rapidly growing number of residents. These locals enjoy a world class selection of restaurants, shops and bars, many of which have waterside locations and fantastic views. It’s not all hustle and bustle, though. Mudchute Farm, just down the road, will keep the kids entertained for hours, and there are several local schools. New residential developments on the Isle of Dogs have opened this area up to a wide range of buyers, from City professionals to young families and first time buyers. 

Going out

Eating: Boisdale of Canary Wharf has outstanding reviews for its modern British cooking and offers a choice of more than 3,000 whiskies, as well as a cigar menu. If you have a yen for modern Japanese cuisine, head to Roka at Canary Wharf, where you can also watch the robata chefs at work. Housed on the water in an eco-friendly pavilion is Hawksmoor Wood Wharf, a steak restaurant with a difference. If you head over to Wood Wharf and you will find an abundance of new places popping up, including Emilia's Pasta and MMy, from the creators of Mercato Metropolitano.

Drinking: Wander through Crossrail Place roof garden into the botanical escape of Pergola on the Wharf, a cocktail bar and restaurant with panoramic views over Canary Wharf’s north dock. If you prefer a bit of competition with your tipple, head to Electric Shuffle, in the hub of Cabot Square. This stunning venue features ten playing areas and two glorious bars perfect for toasting your champions. The Gun on Coldharbour is a favourite with locals, and its full restaurant menu offers upmarket gastropub fare, with oysters as their speciality. 

Culture: Top of the list of places to visit is the London Museum Docklands, which has exhibitions focusing on the history of the area. It also offers the chance to take an evening guided ‘ghost walk’ around Docklands.

You might be surprised to know that Canary Wharf is home to London’s largest collection of outdoor public art. With more than 100 stand-alone sculptures and integrated architectural works, discover the full collection free of charge. In addition, Canary Wharf is an events partner of leading cultural institutions including the Royal Opera House, Royal Shakespeare Company.
