Canary Wharf has redefined city living, providing unique homes and a thriving community not just for our residents but also for those immersed in retail, leisure, commerce and culture across our estate. Amid acres of green parks and gardens and riverside are six remarkable new buildings: there are homes for sale within One Park Drive, 8 Harbord Square and 10 Park Drive, while within 8 Water Street, 10 George Street and Newfoundland, there are apartments to rent with Vertus.

The masterminds behind the masterplan for this waterfront neighbourhood researched its history in great detail – the levels, old docks and water systems – so that their plan would reflect both the modern urban scale of Canary Wharf and the sheer drama of the surrounding waterways. One Park Drive is found in an enviable dockside location, with its neighbour 10 Park Drive and 10 George Street and 8 Water Street both nearby; Newfoundland overlooks the River Thames and Middle Dock; and 8 Harbord Square is near both the dock and the river, in the heart of The Lanes, lively streets that will be reminiscent of Soho with an atmosphere to match. All were designed with the water in mind and benefit from excellent connections too; in addition to the Jubilee line, DLR and bus services, the Elizabeth line can now transport locals to the West End in just 13 minutes and Heathrow in 45 minutes.

Those who choose to set up home in Canary Wharf discover, over weeks, months and years, the deep-rooted qualities and quirks of a vibrant district. It is unlike any other area of London: this diverse neighbourhood is home to independent restaurants, cafes and cocktail bars, calming waterside boardwalks and beautiful landscaped parks.

No. 8 Harbord Square

June 2023 saw the launch of two new show apartments within 8 Harbord Square, both of which reflect the cutting-edge style of the 82 apartments now available for sale. Its appearance, inside and out, has been inspired both by its urban dockside heritage, as well as the style of New York artist apartments of the 1950s-70s. Its architects were tasked with ensuring 8 Harbord Square matched the ‘honesty, simplicity and robustness’ of the warehouses which dominated London’s historic wharfs; thus its open-plan apartments feature exposed brick walls, stainless steel kitchen countertops, large Crittall-style windows and industrial concrete ceilings.

These are spaces to be made your own – ‘no walls, no rules’, declare the designers of 8 Harbord Square – so create your own floorplan and apartment layout to best suit your lifestyle. Those opting for the Prospect Lofts have 809 sq. ft. of flexible space to personalise and make their own. For those who would like a little more space to play around with, the Gramercy Lofts offer 1,037 sq. ft. of uncontained living space, bathed in natural light thanks to the dual aspect, black powder-coated Crittall-style windows.

Once complete, 8 Harbord Square will sit within The Lanes; meandering streets home to boutique shops, new restaurants and artisan delis. Adjacent is the tranquil, landscaped Harbord Square Park, situated by the water and open 24/7 to boost residents’ wellbeing and connection to nature.
