Canary Wharf is the Financial District of London, just as Paris has “La Defence”, London has its Canary Wharf - it is admired by its large sky rise corporate buildings that tower over London’s traditional Victorian houses.
During the 1800s Canary Wharf was a hustling and bustling dock yard, a great deal of Sea Trade that use to come through from the Canary Islands. However when the Sea Trade economics died out and the boom of the Stock Markets and Technology Sectors, Canary Wharf was turned into a dire ghost town of empty run down warehouses.
In the past century or so, Canary Wharf has now become a land mark for London. Many visitors compare Canary Wharf to a mini New York, or to the likes to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. It is unlike most of London, where you have the small windy narrow streets with the cramped old picturesque houses. Some would define it as the “Urban Jungle” of London and of the United Kingdom.
Companies such as Citi Group, KPMG, Morgan & Stanley and many others are proud to have their UK Head Quarters based in Canary Wharf. There are currently more plans to expand and potentially double the size of the area.
It is no surprise that Canary Wharf has been a large attraction to property investors. It has the clientele required and often sought after by many, and it has the glamour of a vibrant urban city. The high rise buildings, the Thames River lit up by the moon light – what more could you ask for City Life.
There has been and still are a flock of Property Developers flooding into Canary Wharf to get a foot step into the ever popular area. So have a look around, to see what is available out there - there are many high profiled Property Developments out in Canary Wharf. One of the surprising finds is that in the heart of Canary Wharf, there are still properties available. Mainly provided by the “Discovery Docks”, they have recently completed the East Wing of Discovery Docks and the price of apartments are ranging from £350 000 to over £1 million.
