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.
Could have been better
Easy access to Canary Wharf , public transport and daily grocery
Bin collection is ridiculous, there was anti social behaviour in the past but has reduced
Please review your development:
I thought the design of the apartments from within could be better. The quality of the kitchen is not up to the mark. The windows are also poor quality even though they are double glazed, the material used is quite cheap.
The switches in the entire flat are very cheap
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
The home welcome was rushed. I was not given enough time to inspect the property
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Response has been mostly to say no to repairs or say that this isn’t covered in your warranty even though most of the complaints were raised within 24 hours of moving
