Moving to Canary Wharf

Glass towers built specifically for the relocation-package crowd — if that's you, this is home. Sits on the Isle of Dogs, wrapped by the river on three sides.

East London Jubilee, Elizabeth & DLR

What you'll actually be looking at

Purpose-built towers

The dominant type, high-rise with concierge, gyms, and amenities built in.

Dockside conversions

A smaller stock of older warehouse and dock buildings converted before the main tower boom.

Newest-generation developments

The most recent towers, with larger floorplates and more family-sized units than the first wave.

Who it suits

Relocating finance and corporate professionals with a relocation package Buyers wanting a lock-up-and-leave lifestyle People prioritising a short commute within East London and the City

Getting around

  • Jubilee line, Elizabeth line, and the DLR all meet here, plus buses D3, D7, D8, and 135 and the Uber Boat river service.
  • About 11 minutes direct to Waterloo via the Jubilee, 20 to Victoria via the Elizabeth line.

The honest take

Why people move here

The transport links are genuinely exceptional, and the towers are built for exactly this kind of relocation — moving in is easier here than almost anywhere else on this list.

What catches people out

It's a corporate, purpose-built environment — if you want period character or a residential village feel, this isn't where you'll find it.

Where it sits on price

Priced on new-build terms — comparable to or above much of Zone 2, despite sitting further from the traditional centre.
