Holiday homes & rentals in Canary Wharf

The redevelopment of the Canary Wharf docks in London has seen the construction of a huge number of modern high-rise apartments, many of which are available as holiday accommodations. Choose from small studio apartments or larger flats and penthouses with stunning river views.

Bars, restaurants, clubs, and evening entertainment all close by

There's no need for a tube ride into London's West End, and it's the perfect place to grab a drink or something to eat. Your Canary Wharf apartment will be close to bars catering to the post-work drink crowd, and there's also a range of restaurants covering every cuisine you can think of. Choose one with a river view and watch the sun go down over the Thames.

Across the river from Canary Wharf is the O2. One of London's biggest music venues, it regularly hosts top rock and pop acts. Canary Wharf also has a large multiscreen cinema complex, and the enormous Westfield Stratford City shopping centre is just a few stops away on the Jubilee line.

Cross the river to Greenwich to learn about the UK's maritime history

One of Britain's most famous ships, the Cutty Sark, is dry docked in Greenwich and makes for a fascinating day out. Find out what life was like aboard a tea clipper sailing between London and China in the 1860s. Kids can climb in the sailors' bunks, follow a marked trail around the ship, and meet costumed characters who bring history to life.

Close to the Cutty Sark is the National Maritime Museum, where entry to permanent exhibitions is free. Explore the giant map as you learn about navigation, take the helm in a ship-steering simulator, and see some of the technological developments that helped the Victorians dominate the world's oceans. In the park next to the museum is the Greenwich Observatory – stand on the prime meridian, which separates Earth's east and west hemispheres.

Bright lights of London just a tube ride away

Canary Wharf has its own Underground station on the Jubilee line, with frequent departures heading to the historic heart of London. Don't miss London's visitor attractions, such as the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, and the British Museum, or head to the retail paradise of Oxford Street for some of Britain's best shopping.

If your time in London is limited, make the most of your visit by joining a hop-on, hop-off bus tour, which will guide you to the city's main historic sights. Perhaps the most historic place in London is the Tower of London, home to the Crown Jewels. Your guided tour here will be led by a Yeoman of the Guard, better known as a Beefeater.
