Canary Wharf
Canary Wharf, with its striking towers and waterside setting, is one of London's most recognisable business and leisure districts. It is home to major international companies and financial institutions, alongside an extensive choice of shops, bars, restaurants, cafés, health and fitness clubs, cinemas and hotels.
The area combines contemporary architecture with an impressive amount of open space, including landscaped parks, gardens, promenades and squares. Canada Square Park, at the heart of Canary Wharf, hosts a range of sporting, cultural and entertainment events throughout the year.
One Canada Square is the area's iconic landmark, forming the centrepiece of the Canary Wharf skyline alongside the surrounding towers.
