Fashion for her

Head to Jubilee Place to discover an array of covetable women’s clothing, from the bold colours and distinctive prints of LK Bennett to cult favourite Maje, a French brand offering both trend-led and classic pieces elevated by subtle details. This is also the home of Sandro Paris, where you can find elegant, feminine evening and daywear, and BIMBA Y LOLA, known for its irreverent edge and regular collaborations with emerging artists.

In Canada Place, Mango’s chic collections combine materials such as silk, cashmere and leather. GANT, with its sporty, Ivy League-inspired pieces, is next door, and The Kooples, immediately recognisable for its Dandy Rock silhouettes and 2000s-era nostalgia, is opposite. Head to street level in Cabot Place for Zara – its effortlessly cool pieces will always be a hit.

Fashion for him

The fashion brands across the Wharf’s malls cater to every taste on the menswear spectrum. Cabot Place is a good place to start, home to contemporary classics from chinos and gilets to knitwear and jackets at BOSS; cross-seasonal comfort in the form of slim-cut flannel shirts and herringbone overcoats at Hackett; and an entire collection of festive-inspired knits and outerwear at Polo Ralph Lauren. Paul Smith is also here, stocking playful fashion from suits to jeans, as well as its iconic striped socks.

GANT, Levi’s and Boggi Milano are all located in Canada Place. The latter neighbours Moss and Charles Tyrwhitt, with Hawes & Curtis just a stone’s throw away, which is handy if you’re after something more tailored. Here, you’ll find office-ready suits, shirts and shoes, as well as elegant eveningwear (because a dinner suit never goes out of fashion). Finally, to perfect the smart-casual look with quality chinos, gilets, knitwear and jackets, head to Jubilee Place, where you’ll find menswear heroes COS and Reiss.

Accessories

Good accessories will elevate the simplest outfit, and there are plenty of spots for shoes, bags and jewellery in Canary Wharf. Cabot Place, for example, is home to Coach, which is built on quality craftsmanship and New York style. Dune London is a few shops down, blending beautiful materials with distinctive design to create super-sophisticated shoes. Hobbs and Russell & Bromley, both located in Canada Place, are synonymous with the best of British design, with the latter integrating European craftsmanship. This mall is also home to e&e Jewellery, which stocks lovely statement pieces.

Makeup

The finishing touch: a show stopping makeup look. Bobbi Brown and Space NK, both located at street level in Cabot Place, stock universally flattering products. One floor down, KIKO MILANO boasts an endless range of shades, tones and textures. Canada Place is home to Trinny London, which has pioneered a beauty solution called ‘the stack’: multitasking makeup for layering. For all your favourite brands under one roof, as well as brilliant Christmas gift sets, head to Boots in Jubilee Place and Canada Place.
