Only a few decades ago, Canary Wharf was just a network of long-abandoned industrial docks. Now it’s a buzzing business and residential district, its cloud-skimming buildings full of state-of-the-art new-build apartments, hotel rooms and offices. The location often referred to as Canary Wharf consists of the 97 acre Canary Wharf Estate owned and run by The Canary Wharf Group and the wider Isle of Dogs area on the peninsula. Whilst the estate is Canary Wharf, home to a working population of over 120,000 people, many of the developments on the Isle of Dogs peninsula also market themselves as Canary Wharf and have been included in this guide. Read on to discover the developments that are rated as the best places to live in Canary Wharf and to see reviews from residents who own or rent in Canary Wharf.
Great amenities, great staff and great interiors
Canary Wharf is not only buzzing with things to see and do, but it’s also very safe. With plenty of restaurant and bars, cinemas, art trails and festivals along with Go-boats and open-swimming if the middle dock, there is plenty to keep you entertained. However the Elizabeth line, jubilee line and the DLR are just a moments walk away which means you can stay connected to the rest of london with ease too.
Please review your development:
Wardian lives up to its original aspirations of being a biophillic, nature-inspired place to live. The amenities are some of the best in Canary Wharf and apartments are designed to high standard. The staff, (whether that be those behind the post desk, the cleaner, handyman or resort directors) are all very friendly and helpful, in particular Maria at the front desk who always makes you smile.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
There is an app which helped make Wardian living even easier. So you can book meeting rooms, cinema slots etc with the app
What is the best feature of your home:
We love our chevron tiled bathroom with the large bath. Also our large open space balcony gives us a sense of having a garden in the sky
