Historically part of the world’s largest port, the West India Docks, Canary Wharf is now the heart of London’s international trade and commerce. Although the area is notable for its large collection of skyscrapers, cutting-edge architectural developments have been constructed since the 1980’s in order to house the district’s growing residential population.
Perfectly-located for the City, Canary Wharf is highly desirable to those looking for a unique and vibrant neighbourhood, with a vast range of predominately modern housing, from one-bedroom warehouse apartments to high-spec penthouses. More traditional Georgian properties can be found around Limehouse, or just south of the river in Blackheath and Greenwich.
