The Cat and Canary in Tower Hamlets

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.

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

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.

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

My local, very busy but I love it.

Amazing place to visit for tourists

It was nice there but very expensive

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.

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

A must visit in London, NYC of London

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

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.

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.

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🥰

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!

Busy but there are a lot of shops to discover

Luxurious,cosy,cosmopolitan area

Fantastic place to refresh ur brain

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

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

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

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.

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

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

A great place to go for a walk with your family, but do it on weekdays. Because on weekends, there are a lot of people.

Well maintained. Plenty shop choice.

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

Cabot Place has a Winter Lights version this year. As always, this district delights with its beauty and ingenuity, I consider the people who organize this place to be miracle workers. There's always something going on here, so it's always nice to visit these places. It may be busy during the day, but in the evening it is wonderfully relaxing, charming and atmospheric. It's a place you want to come back to, like a good memory! Over the years, Canary Wharf has evolved, each time more beautiful, windier, and always unforgettable. It's worth visiting the open-air cinema, there's something for everyone on the big screen! Beautiful time! Especially now, during winter lights! Illuminate your soul and mind!

Nice experience of winter lighting festival

Nice light displays, lovely atmosphere, and very well organised.

Kiko in?..post Covid high shops turnover, it is like everyone tries their chance...

The shopping centre is a decent place to take a look inside.

Very nice place Thank's for Winter Lights Yesterday it was amazing 🙏♥️👏👍

Great place, good shops, bars and food. Nice and clean and lots to see and do.

A great part of London...Go and see.it for.yourself

Canary Wharf is truly one of my favourite daytime destinations. With four impressive shopping malls offering everything from clothing to gourmet food, it feels like a shopper's paradise. It’s an incredible experience! You can easily access this vibrant area via the Elizabeth Line, London Underground, DLR, or six TFL local routes—perfect for commuting to work, school, or just exploring. Many even compare its allure to that of New York City or Hong Kong, especially with iconic landmarks like HSBC.

Easy to get lost, but plenty to do, from shopping to entertainment there is plenty to keep you busy.

Just to walk around is interesting

Love canary wharf ,always something to do there

The capital of Capitalism has gewon into tentacles. Its enormous

Accessible toilets on level -1 don't have Radar key locks thus are misused by students, and the first toilet doesn't flush. one staff member seemed uninterested when I asked for help, thankfully another took me seriously. 10-15 minute wait to use the Accessible toilet as a disabled person when there are THREE. Not okay. Other than that, I had a great time. I bought a power bank from Robert Dyas for my phone and the staff were very helpful.

Loved it here so many shops , cafes a nice peaceful shopping experience

Always clean and great availability of shops

Despite the slightly odd layout, easy to navigate.

Big shopping mall, car parking.

Good quality chain upmarket shakes etc

Easy to get lost ,but a lovely spot to chill, needs more dessert spots

What can you say that hasn't already been said about Canary Wharf 👍

One of the best places on earth 🌎

Super fun place to shop and eat and walk around. This town is completely different to the rest of London it's like being in a different country! The tube and DLR stations are separated so you've got to make decision on advance on your destination if visiting. Facilities including toilets are easy to find around here which is really good.

Amazing. Out of this world. The buildings. The shopping Center. The restaurants and bars. Seeing is believing. And there’s a museum. The surrounding water makes it even more eye opening.

Bustling centre that gas everything you need with enough security to make you comfortably shop around without being worried

I rather like Canary Wharf Shopping Centre. There are plenty of shops and the toilets are clean. Private security guards proliferate.

Great spot with lots of yummy food options and good beer, though the selection is not very large. Perfect for large groups.

Very clean for big city conditions

Best place for Friday night 🌙 out

I love it, even though it's always busy.

Great place to go, plenty of good shops there ,I love it . I recommend this place to shop.

Review: A Visit to Canary Wharf, London Canary Wharf is undoubtedly one of London's most modern and impressive areas. Known as the city's financial center, it offers a fascinating mix of impressive architecture, cultural offerings and relaxed urbanity, perfect for visitors with a wide range of interests. Architecture and atmosphere Canary Wharf is a paradise for lovers of modern architecture. The skyline is dominated by glass skyscrapers, making the district a symbol of London's economic power. Particularly impressive are One Canada Square, once the tallest building in Britain, and the numerous office towers that dominate the skyline. Despite the busy atmosphere during office hours, the area exudes a quiet elegance in the evenings, with beautifully lit promenades and cozy corners. Culture and entertainment What many people don't expect: Canary Wharf is not just a place for bankers and business people. There is a variety of cultural offerings, including art installations, galleries and public events. We particularly recommend a visit to the Crossrail Place Roof Garden, a beautifully landscaped garden with exotic plants that offers a great contrast to the urban surroundings. There is also a wide selection of restaurants and bars. Whether fine dining or a relaxed meal by the water – everyone will find something suitable here. The restaurants along the docks in particular offer fantastic views and a relaxed atmosphere. Shopping The district is a true paradise for shopping fans. With three major shopping centers – Canada Place, Cabot Place and Jubilee Place – Canary Wharf offers everything from luxury brands to everyday essentials. The stores are modern and well-stocked, and the quiet, clean environment makes shopping a stress-free experience. Transport connections Canary Wharf has excellent connections. The Jubilee Line and Elizabeth Line take you into central London in minutes, while the DLR services provide easy access to other areas. The Thames Clippers, London's riverboats, are also an attractive way to explore the city. Conclusion Canary Wharf is more than just a financial center - it's a vibrant district that perfectly combines modern architecture, culture, world-class food and shopping. For visitors wanting to experience contemporary London, it is an absolute must. Whether it's a stroll along the promenades, a spot of shopping or a relaxed dinner with a view of the skyline - Canary Wharf offers something for everyone. An impressive part of London not to be missed!

Went to canary wharf to see the Christmas lights

Lots of bars shops eateries! Well decorated up for Xmas and the festive period

Illusionairies, Canary Wharf - Fantastic

If you want the real taste of London then visit this amazing place

We went ice skating it was brilliant kids love it

Canary Wharf is one of the main financial centres in the United Kingdom containing many high-rise buildings.

Such a beautiful place to behold

Perfect great area to shop ,visit w family and friends

Good Mexican, and good price for the area where it is, everything exquisite, perfect service, they take great care of you when you have an allergy

Full of retail and eating opportunities plus various offices all connected by public transport.

Lots of shops/ restaurants/ bars & lovely walks around the docklands

Canada Square/Canada place/churchil place are a beautiful area

A must see, London is full of hidden gems.

Beautiful place with modern buildings and a water area that they are decorating. A must visit if you go to London.

It is a top place and renowned for hosting many financial institutions. Cabot Square and Canada Square have good shopping stores.

One of the best places in London. Exuberance of lighting and all corporate headquarters make it quite premium. Some iconic movies’ shoots happened here

Beautiful to shop around, convenience stores, restaurants. Easy access to Jubilee line & Elizabeth lines. Outside they have pubs & good restaurants

Great selection of shops and restaurants

Beautiful especially in the month of December.

Nice área to shopping and walking.

Tricky to find destinations phone blocked by towers great when you get where you are going 🤭😎

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

It was a haven in the madness of London! Phew!!! Nice, quiet and serene compared to East London

Quite a lot in a small space, but only if you have money! Was nice to browse though

A NIGHTMARE, a maze, just people running through, hard to see the signs without glasses, every door is so heavy you cannot hold it open, it's a mess

A busy place but as the business centre for London what can be expected. A decent shopping centre and went to the winter ice skating which was worth a trip.

Shopping centre seems to sprawl for ages, lots of good food options and it's combined with the tube and train stations

There is beautiful garden on the roof top. Nice shops and big choice of restaurants.

Amazing place to hangout. Will get anything you ask for but very limited options for kids

Looking around while passing the time as in the area

Excellent little location. Service is a bit bad but maps help directions

It's a very busy business area during the day, etc The shopping area is crowded at lunchtime. The one thing that is terrible in this area is the lack of toilet facilities for such a busy area. None of the food shops have toilets so need to walk ages to get to the facilities. It's a very well looked after area nice and clean etc But prices as you expect are high

Too big for me. But full of food. It's a pleasure to have a brunch and relax

Great area to grab a bite to eat

Very nice shopping centre plenty of shops and parking

Nowhere to park with a large van and no amenities so not a posative experience

Very poor signage throughout but otherwise not bad.
