About Canary Wharf
Canary Wharf is a privately owned business district on the Isle of Dogs, built from 1988 on the West India Docks after the port closed. One Canada Square, at 235 metres, was the UK's tallest building from 1991 to 2012. Five interconnected malls hold more than 300 shops and over 80 restaurants, bars and cafés, and there are two cinemas. Jubilee Park is a roof garden above Jubilee Place, and the Crossrail Place Roof Garden tops the Elizabeth line station. The homes are compact, for two to four, and sit close together. This is glass and water, not old London.
Is Canary Wharf right for you?
- Best for
- Small groups who value fast trains over old streets
- Not for you if

Is Canary Wharf a good base for sightseeing in London?
For transport, yes. The Elizabeth line runs direct to Liverpool Street and Paddington, the Jubilee line reaches London Bridge, Waterloo and the West End, and the DLR goes to Bank and Greenwich. The big sights are elsewhere, so you will be travelling in each day.
Is Canary Wharf quiet at weekends?
Very. Most of the chain bars serve office workers and close at weekends, with only one or two staying open. For an older pub, The Grapes has stood by the river since 1583, near Westferry DLR station.
How do you get from Canary Wharf to London City Airport?
Take the DLR and change at Poplar. The airport is only about 3 miles from Canary Wharf, so it is the handiest London airport for a short stay here.
Are there green spaces in Canary Wharf?
A few, mostly on rooftops. Jubilee Park sits above Jubilee Place, and the Crossrail Place Roof Garden, on top of the Elizabeth line station, is planted by hemisphere either side of the Meridian line.
