CANARY WHARF
Once a thriving dock serving London, the bustling focal point of world trade in the 19th century, Canary Wharf is now Britain's fastest growing business district, second in size to only the City of London itself. Canary Wharf is urban regeneration at its very best. Over the past two decades, the regeneration of Canary Wharf and London's Docklands has been extraordinary. Today, the Canary Wharf estate comprises over 14 million square feet of office and retail space, and more than 50 major companies are based here. The area has also become one of London's most sought after places to live, with its unrivalled access via City Airport to mainland Europe as well as a vast array of the finest shops, bars and restaurants.
Canary Wharf is the financial hub of London as well as a residential location in its own right with every facility and amenity imaginable. The district’s 4 shopping centres cater for everyone and include supermarkets (Waitrose, M&S and Tesco), high street names, specialist boutique retailers, a wide choice of bars, cafes and restaurants to suit every taste. The West End can be reached in 17 minutes by tube and the neighbouring O2 centre offers a further vast selection of leisure and entertainment facilities.
Canary Wharf’s transformation from a weekend virtual ghost-town to a bustling residential location is complete! The Landmark is ideal for those eager to enjoy the luxury of waterside living, cutting their commute and increasing their leisure time.
Canary Wharf’s strength as a global financial centre is already cemented and there is no respite in the demand for commercial space. By the end of 2009 KPMG will move into a new 15-storey headquarters to be built at 15 Canada Square alongside HSBC, Barclays and Citi Group. Fitch Ratings, the global credit ratings firm, will move into a £290m purpose-built offices at the end of 2010. Also a global investment bank, JP Morgan, selected the Richard Rogers designed 3 million square foot Riverside South development, which neighbours The Landmark, to be the new 1 million sq ft consolidated headquarters of European operations. Additionally, another 4 million square feet is set to come online at Wood Wharf, directly adjacent to Canary Wharf, as well as commercial developments at North Quay and Arrowhead, across Marsh Wall.
