Formerly a port for trade ships, this historic area perfectly juxtaposes the modern skyscrapers and business district of today.

HISTORY

Canary Wharf is one of the key financial hubs in London, home to many international banks and businesses.

BUSINESS

Canary Wharf, as you'd imagine, is extremely accessible from the rest of the city by tube, train, DLR or boat.

TRANSPORT

Canary Wharf is an area in East London located on the Isle of Dogs. One of the major business hubs of London, Canary Wharf is, unsurprisingly, a popular choice for events such as conferences, meetings, and corporate dinners. With its modern architecture, fantastic transport links, and thriving business culture, it has become a central hub for elegant event venues. For example, East Wintergarden is a stunning option for large events, as well as Pergola on the Wharf for post-event networking.

Canary Wharf has a long history dating back to the late 19th century, when it was primarily used as a port for ships to dock at. Fun fact: the area gets its name from the stream of fruit-carrying ships from the Canary Islands! In addition to its event offerings, Canary Wharf is also home to the Museum of London Docklands, which chronicles the history of the docks and their impact on the city, and is a stellar choice for business events. 


Canary Wharf

East London is renowned for its trendy artistic influences and alternative way of living, from fashion to music.

CULTURE

East London is well-connected to the rest of the city, meaning you can rest assured that your guests will arrive in one piece.

From Carribbean cuisine to Danish delicacies, you're sure to find it all in East London.

FOOD & DRINK

From Hackney to Mile End to Canary Wharf, trendy East London is known for its thriving arts scene and alternative culture. Home to many creative enterprises and a plethora of different venues from town halls to underground nightclubs, East London is a great choice to host an event and has something for everyone, whether you're hosting a corporate event, client meeting or just a good old fashioned knees up.

For example, you could host an away day at Bounce Old Street, plan an immersive pop-up at Pergola, a fashion show at Hoxton Arches or a gig at EartH Hackney. You could even head to NTs Loft for a celebration in the sun or head out to ArcelorMittal Orbit for a Christmas party with a twist. It would be impossible for us to list every single fantastic venue in East London, so you'll just have to get out there and see for yourself!
