Located within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, Canary Wharf is a well-developed business district.

With most of the area being on the waterside there are beautiful views to enjoy all throughout the year.

This transport link provides easy access to London City Airport and London underground stations and many London bus routes running through Canary Wharf allowing residents to travel around London.
The area continues to grow especially with Crossrail due to be arriving in 2018 which is inviting more and more residents to the borough. Local schools and Mudchute Farm create an interesting environment perfect for young families looking for a modern location.
