Canary Wharf — Attraction in London

#1 Canary Wharf was one of the world’s busiest docks between the 19th and early 20th centuries. Popular products including sugar and rum were shipped to and from the docks during this period. You can see sugar warehouses dating back to 1802 when standing upon the floating pontoon bridge of Wren Landing.

#2 Canadian property tycoon Paul Reichmann provided much of the funding for the development of Canary Wharf. He conducted talks with various members of London’s business community in 1987; establishing the widespread desire for the change of premises. Construction began the following year.

#3 Designed by Caesar Pelli and completed in 1991; One Canada Square stood as the tallest building in London (244m) until the construction of the Shard in 2012. With its matte stainless steel structure, this awe-inspiring building is a symbol of Central London’s economic regeneration.

#4 The Canary Wharf Group (CWG) have taken the lead in creating an action plan for the encouragement of local biodiversity. They have installed a range of ecological features including bird boxes, bee-hives, and insect hotels in the newest residential developments.

#5 There has been significant investment and development along the eastern waters of the West India docks and stretching to Wood Wharf. A complex of residential, entertainment, and commercial buildings has been built in this affluent area.

#6 The Jubilee Park garden sits atop the roof of the Jubilee Line Station. With its mature Metasequoia trees and channelled water features, this garden is a popular lunch-time resting spot.

#7 The quadrangle Cannon Workshops are just a short walk away from the main dock area. Previously used for the storage of traditional work tools, these units feature distinctive red doors, which can’t be painted over due to the Grade II listing.

#8 The magnificent skyscrapers of Canary Wharf are home to some of the world’s best-known financial institutions. Employees of HSBC, Citigroup, and other major banks make their way to the wharf each working day.

#9 There are an estimated 100,000 employees working for the businesses of Canary Wharf. Further growth is expected following recovery from the pandemic.

#10 A new Crossrail station is set to be opened by the close of 2022. This will connect Canary Wharf to Heathrow Airport; with an estimated travelling time of 40 minutes. The Crossrail station has an underground tunnel, with a multi-coloured mural painted by contemporary artist...

Canary Wharf is one of those places that feels like a city within a city. Modern, luxurious, and incredibly safe. Whether you’re visiting for work, fun, or just a casual day out, it has a unique vibe that’s hard to beat. It’s a gleaming hub of skyscrapers and sleek architecture, but what really stands out is how well it’s balanced with greenery and open spaces, making it absolutely stunning in the spring and summer.

One of the first things you’ll notice about Canary Wharf is how safe and clean it feels. Everything is well-maintained, and you’re surrounded by a calm, professional energy. Even though it’s bustling with life, there’s a certain peacefulness to it. Not as chaotic like other parts of London can sometimes be. You can walk around at any time of day or night and feel completely at ease.

What really makes Canary Wharf shine is its endless options for bars, restaurants, and entertainment. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual drink, fine dining, or something a little quirky, there’s something for everyone.

A standout for me is “The Alchemist”. This place is a cocktail lover’s dream with its creative, theatrical drinks that often come with smoke, sparkles, or other fun surprises. It’s also an amazing spot for food, with a menu that caters to a variety of tastes, making it a perfect place to start or end your night.

Another must-visit is Fairgame, a boozy arcade for adults that’s as fun as it sounds. It’s a fantastic spot to let loose, have a laugh with friends, and enjoy great drinks while playing games. It’s such a unique addition to Canary Wharf and adds to its lively, social atmosphere.

The Ice rink is also must. Great for professionals or beginners.

In the warmer months, Canary Wharf truly comes alive. The waterfront views, flower installations, and outdoor seating areas make it an idyllic spot to soak up the sun. Whether you’re grabbing an iced coffee, enjoying a leisurely meal outside, or just taking a walk along the docks, it’s incredibly picturesque and feels like a little oasis in the heart of London.

Overall, Canary Wharf is an amazing destination. It has a sense of modern sophistication that’s balanced with charm and plenty of opportunities to explore. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, it’s a spot that never...
