On the eastern edge of Canary Wharf, Wood Wharf is quickly becoming one of London’s most exciting places to live. While Canary Wharf is known for its sleek towers and fast-paced business life, Wood Wharf adds something different: a relaxed, waterside lifestyle with a strong sense of community.
Whether you're searching for a luxury apartment, a smart rental, or just curious about what makes this area special, Wood Wharf is worth exploring.
Wood Wharf is more than just a new development; it's a purpose-built neighbourhood designed for modern living. Covering 23 acres, the project will deliver around 3,600 new homes, over 2 million square feet of office space, and 350,000 square feet of shops, cafés, restaurants, and leisure venues.
You’ll also find green spaces, a new school, and a GP surgery all woven into the layout. Everything’s been planned to create a complete, self-contained community.
From leafy walkways to riverside views, the area encourages you to live, work, and relax without needing to leave the neighbourhood. Wood Wharf blends convenience and calm, offering an easier pace of life right next to London’s financial hub.
Wood Wharf is already home to some iconic buildings. One Park Drive, a 57-storey circular tower by world-famous architects Herzog & de Meuron, has become a standout landmark. Inside, you’ll find stylish apartments with floor-to-ceiling windows, modern finishes, and incredible views.
Then there’s 8 Harbord Square, home to the exclusive Upper Lofts, sophisticated, boutique apartments that combine contemporary design with high-end features. These homes offer access to on-site gyms, lounges, and rooftop terraces, all designed with comfort and quality in mind.
With a variety of buildings by top architects, Wood Wharf has created a neighbourhood that feels modern, diverse, and built to last.
Wood Wharf is part of the growing build-to-rent movement, ideal for people who want a high-quality home with flexibility. Several rental buildings are already available, and more are coming soon.
These homes go beyond just nice interiors; they offer shared lounges, concierge service, fitness centres, cinema rooms, and co-working spaces. Whether you’re a professional working nearby or new to London, renting here gives you the best of both convenience and style.
One of Wood Wharf’s biggest strengths is its transport. You’re just minutes from Canary Wharf station, where you can catch the Jubilee line, DLR, or Elizabeth line. You can get to London Bridge in under 10 minutes, Bond Street in 15, and Heathrow in under 45 minutes.
Locally, the area is evolving fast. New coffee shops, restaurants, gyms, bars, and cultural spaces are opening all the time. You’ll find independent spots for weekend brunches, riverside paths for walks, and green parks perfect for unwinding.
There’s also a packed calendar of events, outdoor markets, and community activities that make this more than just a place to live; it’s a place to enjoy.
