The Cat and Canary in Tower Hamlets

Retail-wise, currently (2025) it's having an identity crisis. High-end jewellery, fragrances and niche quackery along with highstreet fashion and Greggs. Two car showrooms. Hope it finds its way back soon!

Very nice, it has beautiful views at night,

Wow,what a transformation.Have not been here for years.Now a must visit.

Touristic, but fun for strolling around. There a great big mall with lots of shops and restaurants. The chocolatera..Laderach pulls a punch with some amazing choices.

Nice place. Lots of public transport. Pretty clean.

Always the place to be. What an aura !

Good place to hang out - lots of food eateries.

The bars are surprisingly busy considering how many people work from home nowadays. Good food options too but no real character obviously.

Experience of experiences in London. Thriving environment with lovely shops, cafés and restaurants.

An Awesome place, lively and bubbling with energy, with wonderful restaurants and parks to hangout with colleagues, friends and family.

Good place to work, dine and shop.

Always a great selection of food in this chain of supermarkets

Went on a Saturday and not to busy some nice shops there went to JD sport very good service got what I wanted 👍

One of the best areas in London

Great for taking pictures, quite an expensive area make sure your pockets are deep if you plan on coming here!

Canary Wharf is a joy to shop in because most of the other shoppers are more considerate than those in a normal high street

A vibrant and bustling metropolitan hub filled with shops, offices, and recreational spaces. The tall, sleek buildings give the area a modern and elegant feel. While it can feel a bit out of place compared to the more traditional English architecture nearby, it’s still a fascinating area to explore and definitely worth a visit.

Didn't do much shopping there, but browsed the area on a lovely morning walk. We had a lovely time. It's a nice, clean, and spacious area. Nice atmosphere for picnic or just family day out. Definitely will visit again.

Worth a visit if you are in the area

Stopby on the way to Greenwich from Central London. A financial area with lots of underground shopping and eatery.

Very beautiful landscape high rise buildings

Love Canary Wharf, such a beautiful place. Although it's nothing compared to New York, but it's still beautiful for UK.

A wonderful place for tourists for shooting Beautiful view.

Hands down the best chai in London!

Great location good craft beer and friendly staff

The views from the Marketing Suite were amazing! It’s in the One Canada Square.

A nice place for a walk along the canal, a young and fun atmosphere, good restaurants, new buildings in the area and relatively modern and convenient public transportation.

Very impressive precinct, even though it doesn’t have the charm of the city.

A station with Jubliee line and DLR running through.

Office Central for London and large shopping mall. Underground station in mall access

Great location for so many things to do and Lizzie line goes straight there

Canary wharf: a place where a committee paid for by blue chips corps decides how to have fun. Which simply involves over priced alcohol

service was horrendous, no vegan options and chef would not even accommodate it.

A real modern part of the city. Clean. Nice park. It's a very exciting place for me, especially in the evening lights

Breathtaking views of the Wharf

It was an evening out, had to walk to different sections to see the lights but was interesting, this was back in January.

Business center, skyscrapers surround you.

London's business district. From here you can easily reach all the spots

Magnificent for shopping Great for walking and exploring the surrounding area

There’s plenty to do in the area .

One of London's best kept secrets.

Veni, vidi, vici We came, we saw, we conquered our mall experience. Glass, steel and no charm. The only saving grace was this: Exiting the tube to get there brought us to a small glass enclosure where a Bushy Bearded Gent sat. We approached Seeing no slot for a coin We asked if he was Zoltan as we both wanted sage like advice. He laughed and pointed us on our way. 30 min. Later we left the Mall, never to return....

Lovely place with water fountains

The best thing about Canary Wharf is how safe and secure it feels. Good selection of shops and easy parking too.

Good transport links. Nice range of shops and restaurants.

Buzzing during the day but not much happening in the evening

Great cocktails and beer , enjoyable experience

Nice little gluten free cafe just outside the water fountains. Great chill spot Yumzi

All those skyscrapers you can find here are just outstanding! Some people say this area looks like New York...

An upscale arcade with a nice variety of shops and food outlets. Probably my favourite mall in London.

Some big name shops, lots of places to eat. Nothing you won't see elsewhere.

Visited the BYD car showroom and liked what I saw and ordered a new car.

Always enjoy joy walking around here. The shops may verge on the expensive, but great views and eating places

It's exciting to see what Bankviertel looks like

High buildings, lots of places to enjoy your day out, shopping facilities and wellbeing available. Lovely Ice rink and safe secured car parks.

Great vibe,nice folk and nice drinks and music

Always has a real buzz, good to see most of the shops operating

Great place if you looking for quick basic shopping, but the choice and size of the shops is not as big as Westfield Shopping centre in Stratford, also only branded shops, so don't expect to find cheap small shops like Poundland or Mc'donald. Place is mainly for localy working office people.

I have had the pleasure of visiting Canary Wharf on a number of occasions while travelling to various destinations on the Elizabeth line. This is a nice place to chill, become one with nature and grab a bite at the many restaurants and bars. It has a good underground shopping centre too for you to get lost in. I usually stop to look at the docks and appreciate the tranquil view for only a brief moment in time while the buzz of the city life surrounds me. This tranquility is only interrupted by a giant stupid duck, distorting my view. I laugh my ass of every time I look at the inflatable Fairgame duck. Whoever thought of this is a genius and has created a great pr stunt! It always brings a smile to my face. No need for drink and drugs kids, just visit Canary Wharf!

2nd biggest financial district in london, worth seeing

A great place to visit in London. Very urban and vibrant.

Amazing place bit dystopian to say the least but interesting pkace

All in one location, food, drinks, clothing, ATMs etc available

Lots of shops and eateries. Very busy. Don't forget to get your car park ticket stamped on store

Really nice clean area, and very friendly people. Food places are everywhere but if you want more plain food and not fancy with items you haven't heard of then there's a tesco. The prices are extortionate to the north west but I suppose normal if you live there.

The attachment from this place is inconceivable.

I love the serenity and anonymity of this place. Good variety of shops and places to get a coffee and bite to eat.

Excellent Everything you need available at your fingertips

A must visit in London, NYC of London

Canary Wharf is a great place to stay loads to do and handy links into London

Really lovely Sunday roast and great live music

Canary Wharf is one of those places that feels like a city within a city. Modern, luxurious, and incredibly safe. Whether you’re visiting for work, fun, or just a casual day out, it has a unique vibe that’s hard to beat. It’s a gleaming hub of skyscrapers and sleek architecture, but what really stands out is how well it’s balanced with greenery and open spaces, making it absolutely stunning in the spring and summer. One of the first things you’ll notice about Canary Wharf is how safe and clean it feels. Everything is well-maintained, and you’re surrounded by a calm, professional energy. Even though it’s bustling with life, there’s a certain peacefulness to it. Not as chaotic like other parts of London can sometimes be. You can walk around at any time of day or night and feel completely at ease. What really makes Canary Wharf shine is its endless options for bars, restaurants, and entertainment. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual drink, fine dining, or something a little quirky, there’s something for everyone. A standout for me is “The Alchemist”. This place is a cocktail lover’s dream with its creative, theatrical drinks that often come with smoke, sparkles, or other fun surprises. It’s also an amazing spot for food, with a menu that caters to a variety of tastes, making it a perfect place to start or end your night. Another must-visit is Fairgame, a boozy arcade for adults that’s as fun as it sounds. It’s a fantastic spot to let loose, have a laugh with friends, and enjoy great drinks while playing games. It’s such a unique addition to Canary Wharf and adds to its lively, social atmosphere. The Ice rink is also must. Great for professionals or beginners. In the warmer months, Canary Wharf truly comes alive. The waterfront views, flower installations, and outdoor seating areas make it an idyllic spot to soak up the sun. Whether you’re grabbing an iced coffee, enjoying a leisurely meal outside, or just taking a walk along the docks, it’s incredibly picturesque and feels like a little oasis in the heart of London. Overall, Canary Wharf is an amazing destination. It has a sense of modern sophistication that’s balanced with charm and plenty of opportunities to explore. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, it’s a spot that never disappoints.

Nice in the summer. Love to see the high rise building. Amazing Views.

It feels like it is the new London . The metro station very huge and modern. There are a lot of eye catching buildings everything is new and modern. And of course if you missed the December Christmas lights you can’t miss winter light festival

If you love cocktails or want to try a different type of drink, then this is the place to go 🍹 The staff are friendly and welcoming. 🙂 There's an outside seating area, a little cold for the winter but will be lovely for those summer days.

My local, very busy but I love it.

Amazing place to visit for tourists

Loved canary warf, it's seems like a totally different place to London, clean and tidy with lots to sea and do, and plenty restaurants and bars, I'm not a great lover of London itself but Canary warf is totally different and a must if you're thinking of visiting London.

It was nice there but very expensive

Came across a Winter Lights Festival installation on my way to the train station.

This is tha best place to enjoy..... Your best day in London......

Love Canary Wharf. Good shops, restaurants, cafes. plenty of people watching and things to look at. Nice gardens. Light show was on when we went so busier than usual.

I would say Canary wharf is the real London that is in our mind. All the skyscrapers, landscape, modern city with lots of water bodies. I always like to spend time there, especially during winter. I went there to enjoy the winter light decorations with my friends🥰

Strict security in this area and hence always felt secure around here (vs high street in Central London). The layout can be complicated at first, especially when viewed from Google Maps. But once you’ve gotten more familiar with it, the shopping malls are fine to navigate.

Busy but there are a lot of shops to discover

Didn't visit the centre itself we were doing the light trail which was good just a hell of alot of walking and sooooooo busy!

Luxurious,cosy,cosmopolitan area

Fantastic place to refresh ur brain

Wonderfull skyscrapers, visited the crossrail place roof garden and traffic light tree before catching the dlr

Good afternoon out, good variety of shops and restaurants and nice place for a leisurely walk

There is a light festival happening at this place. Various types of lights can be seen with the help of a map.

It was great to take kids and watch the light show it’s very nice and nice to have loads of place to eat but one must have to try come by train car mag be difficult to get car park

If you're in London and have more than 2 or 3 days, Canary Wharf is definitely one to go to with all of its business designed buildings and great shops. A large shopping centre in the middle that includes many restaurants.

Full of various things and attractions

A modern area of London which is not only a financial hub but also famous for its artistic skyscrapers, green gardens, cafes, restaurants and much more entertainment

One of the richest areas of London. We visited the ice rink

Great experience of the annual canary wharf annual lights show. Very busy crowds need better marshalling

Nice experience of winter lighting festival

Feels like 2 different worlds. On on the top, another underground with different shops.
