A Canary Wharf Office Space Guide

Your Location for Serviced Office Rentals Canary Wharf is a thriving business centre in E14, which is fast overtaking The Square Mile as the premier financial district in London, with much office space to rent. Central London is accessible via the Tube (Jubilee Line), the Docklands Highway, five bus routes, and river crossings that connect to Embankment, Greenwich, and Rotherhithe. For the more far-ranging businessperson, London City Airport is 10 minutes from Canary Wharf by taxi, and 14 minutes by Docklands Light Rail.

Canary Wharf was built on the West India Docks on the Isle of Dogs in East London. While ports closed in 1980, construction on a new Canary Wharf began in 1988, with the completion of One Canada Square in 1991. Today, it features over 30 buildings, including the three tallest buildings in the United Kingdom: One Canada Square (also known as the famous Canary Wharf Tower), 8 Canada Square, and the Citigroup Building. The area houses some of the most successful companies in the world, including HSBC, Citigroup, and Thomson Reuters. The area is also gaining primacy over parts of London as the location for the fashionable shoppers and diners of London, with over 200 shops, bars, and restaurants. Over 90,000 people are employed in the Canary Wharf area.

Office space is at a premium in Canary Wharf, as this is a coveted location, especially for office rentals. Most office rentals are grade A modern properties, and come with a variety of workspaces (some "plug-and-play", with near-instant setup of workstations to get your company up and running quickly), offices, conference rooms for any occasion, state-of-the-art internet and telecoms, and exemplary secretarial and reception services. Prices range from &1,000 per serviced office workstation for the best in serviced offices at the core of Canary Wharf. However, further out in the Docklands, one can find offices for as little as £500 per workstation. Many options are available, including environmentally conscious offices to rent.

Regus, Knight Frank, and Abbey Business Centres are just a few of the high-quality serviced office space providers that serve Canary Wharf. According to Canary Wharf Contractors Limited's website, "...[we have]... a nine building mixed-use development, including a 40 storey tower, also in Docklands, (due for completion in 2010)." Other projects include the Riverside South buildings, which feature two towers at 45 and 37 floors respectively, and are due for completion in 2013. At the conclusion of this project, construction will begin on three towers of office space on the north side of Canary Wharf, at heights of 18, 38, and 40 floors, respectively. No other construction is planned at this time, as all the remaining land in the estate has been deemed unsafe to build on.
