Canary Wharf

Canary Wharf is London’s bankers’ heartland, alongside its much older and more traditional brother, the City of London. Standing proud on the skyline of London, Canary Wharf is a rejuvenated, vibrant and modern area that has sprung up since the early 1990s, occupying old docklands. Canary Wharf is, in essence, contemporary London: Home to many of Europe’s tallest buildings, and indeed home to the UK’s second highest, this thriving financial district is the hub of business in the capital.
