Where to stay in Canary Wharf
The careful development of Canary Wharf over the last 30 years means that for those who visit now it’s so much more than a day trip destination – it’s somewhere you can spend a whole week or weekend exploring and enjoying time in London.
A city within a city, whether you’re in the capital for a work trip or you fancy an urban mini-break, it will take more than an afternoon to experience everything that the Wharf has to offer. Furthermore, Canary Wharf is a part of London renowned for its safety, cleanliness and contemporary infrastructure, offering everything from retail therapy to wellbeing, connectivity with nature, to cultural entertainment and exceptional bars, cafes and restaurants.
In short, Canary Wharf is not simply somewhere to step into (although you can do that too), but the preferred place to stay for those seeking easy access to everything that the estate has to offer. Thanks to the collection of Canary Wharf aparthotels, short-stay apartments, and hotels, you can stay in the heart of it all, enjoying every moment to the full with the space to make the most of it in your own time and on your own terms.
Whether you’re a solo traveller, visiting with friends, family, or colleagues, in town for a few days, weeks or months, here are our top places to stay in Canary Wharf.
