Editor's Choice:

Canary Wharf is the opposite of your Dickensian expectations of traditional London, yet it is full of surprise, enjoyment and culture. The heritage of the local area is all-present behind the facades of the massive office towers. The “Museum In Docklands” in West India Quay introduces you to the history of the area and sets the scene for your stay at the business hub of the UK. During the redevelopment of Canary Wharf in the 1990s, artists were commissioned to help make this purpose-built neighbourhood stand out, which is why sculptures and monuments mark the landscape. There are also some unique, world-class restaurants around Cabot Square, such as “Le Relais De Venise”, a Parisian steakhouse, and “Boisdale”, a haven for Jazz lovers, both of which feature gastronomic delights to gourmands and gourmandettes alike.Read more

  Excellent, loved everything about the place and would highly rec

  Left on 07/12/2012 for a stay in July 2012
  
  

  We stayed here (a family of 4) it was clean, spacious and very accessible, we have already told friends who plan on visiting London this fall. It was a high end apartment that had all the comforts of home.
  
  Tip: The one tip I would give people trying to find the apartment, would be to get off at Canary Warf and walk over the bridge to South Quay.

  Great location, Very nice apartment

  Left on 07/27/2011 for a stay in May 2011
  
  

  We stayed at this apartment in the Docklands/Canary Wharf area in May while on holiday with friends with a toddler.
  
  The apartment was well-equipped and was for the most part, almost perfect. The owners came by almost as soon as we checked in and wanted to make sure everything was ok. Unfortunately, we had been there about 3 minutes, so there was little to report on.
  
  First the great things:
  *Awesome view and location; the two balconies provided great views of the city and the nighttime view was spectacular. You're very close to the two tube stations, and there are numerous restaurants/cafes in the area, as well as some shopping.
  *Towel warmers in bathrooms was nice addition.
  *Beautiful big screen in living room/lounge was very nice.
  *Included WiFi hook up was perfect for looking up information an attractions in the area.
  *Small "grocery/market" Tesco Express at the bottom of the adjacent building provided just about everything you could wish for if you were cooking at home, needed a few breakfast pastries or snack items, or a reasonable bottle of wine or a nice pint..
  *Area appears to be very safe and guard/security to enter is nice if traveling alone. Guard at desk always spoke to us when leaving or returning.
  *Two elevators which seemed to work very quickly.
  
  Now, the not so perfect:
  *The combined washer/dryer unit never worked ... at least as a dryer. And unfortunately, while we were able to find a users manual, it was obviously not for the specific machine there so it was not helpful. Thankfully the towel warmers in the baths provided an opportunity for very slow, but effective drying methods.
  *The unit was for the most part very clean, however, there were some areas, under bathroom sinks, etc. that could have used a bit of extra attention.
  *Providing hand soap in the bathrooms for the guests would be a nice addition.
  *Also, there was no electrical outlet in the bathroom, nor a mirror in the bedroom. Therefore, one could not operate a hair dryer or other styling tools in the bathroom in front of the mirror. Take an extension cord or something with a very long cord.
  *Second/Guest (not en suite) bathroom seemed to get very warm (even with exhaust fan on), so we often ended up propping the door open after bathing.
  
  All in all, I would highly recommend this rental. It's great for friends or families traveling and was more reasonable than multiple hotel rooms. Pool and gym were nice as well. Great option if visiting London or the area.

  Perfect accommodation

  Left on 01/13/2011 for a stay in October 2010
  
  

  My friend recommended this apartment; she had stayed their previously and was very impressed with the cleanliness, views and service. I understood why when I stayed here myself. The apartment overlooks the Thames River and offers a great view of the Tower Bridge and London's skyline. The rooms were clean and I didn't have to worry about any bedbugs (ughgh)! Everything - right from grocery stores to the greatest shops of London were within easy reach. A large screen television right in the living room meant, I didn't have to miss out on any of my favourite soaps.
