On the Isle of Dogs in London s Docklands, Canary Wharf is one of the world s most highly specified urban areas, sometimes called London s "mini-Manhattan". Ideally located just minutes from its vast array of shops, bars, restaurants and coffee shops, the apartments offer a convenient base for the modern business traveller. Nearby transport provides easy access to the O2 Arena, the West End and the other magnificent sites of this popular European capital. Visit the Museum in Docklands, venture further to find the local bars around the Isle of Dogs, or soak up the prominent culture of the area - the 50 story One Canada Square is the tallest building in the UK and the 2nd tallest in Europe, Billingsgate Market is nearby, as are Jubilee Park and Tiffinbites.
Canary Wharf consists of large offices and shopping development in East London, located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Canary Wharf tenants include major banks, such as Barclays, Credit Suisse, HSBC and Citigroup, law firms such as Clifford Chance, as well as news media and service firms, including Thomson Reuters, and Trinity Mirror.
Over 100,000 people are employed on the estate, around 25% of whom live in the surrounding five boroughs. With the opening of Jubilee Place shopping centre, Canary Wharf has become a shopping destination.
