Described by some as London’s very own mini-Manhattan, Canary Wharf is much more than sky high office blocks. Providing housing for those who work in the area, as well as those who commute into the city, Canary Wharf is well placed to offer its residents access to the surrounding areas. The architecture alone draws crowds from across London. Properties in Canary Wharf are predominantly modern buildings with stylish minimalist interiors, although those looking for older property have the pick of surrounding Limehouse or, just south of the river, Blackheath and Greenwich.
